Projects arranged in a Chronological Order
Mariam Songhulashvili is a visual artist based in Tbilisi, Georgia, working primarily with generative and interactive time-based visual art. Their practice explores several themes: the perception of time and memory - especially focusing on the understanding of queer temporality; the boundaries between abstraction and narration - exploring it in a sense of gamification of reality perception; and the experience of being surrounded by urban, liminal spaces. Collaboration is central to their practice, typically involving musicians and writers.

Archival imagery trigger the nostalgic longing for the past, which can never be grasped. The photographic sources depicting Tbilisi, Georgia create the illusion of three dimensionality, but upon close inspection dissolve into one another, leaving one with an failed attempt to grasp a fleeting emotion of nostalgia.
This work is based on archival imagery of Tbilisi from the National Parliamentary Library of Georgia.
