during the time i lived in tbilisi, one of the ways i entered into dialogue with the city was through documenting its textures, photographing fragments of surfaces. tbilisi is incredibly dense in its material character, with a striking concentration of diverse textures and reliefs. i found great pleasure in observing them and in piecing the city together through these small fragments.
this became a form of interaction between us. even now, long after i no longer live there, these imprints of the city remain important to me, although memories of that time return with a certain shiver.
