DESCRIPTION
For the past two years, every spring, Tbilisi loses its shape and rhythm
as familiar landmarks take on new meanings. This six-minute
audio-reactive video installation uses geodata from eight locations tied
to protests, transforming the city’s physical structure into reactive
point clouds, that respond dynamically to Nino Davadze’s musical
composition, capturing Tbilisi’s diverse and chaotic character as a city
that feels both fragmented and central. Buildings represented as points
love their form, dissolving into an unrecognizable, unstructured chaos.
This visual fragmentation is contrasted with lines from an abstract
poem that articulates the struggle of surviving within a crumbling
system, serving as a souvenir of experiences that remains even as the
city’s architecture collapses into disorder.
