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.

გაზაფხული / gazapkhuliFor 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.
