Ontology of Ruins and the Memory of Place
The territory around Lisi Lake in Tbilisi — where I lived for nearly two years and walked daily — becomes a woven fabric of observations and traces. It is a process of long-term interaction with the landscape: I studied the area like a puzzle, looking closely into its structure and creating my own routes.
The found materials — slate from old constructions, ashes from campfires, nails, and pieces of bark — have lost their original functions. Now they exist in a new way: ontologically equal, they undergo metamorphosis. Through the gesture of weaving and stitching, I assemble them into a single fabric, restoring their wholeness — but a different, fragmented one — telling my own story through them.
The vertical lines are traces of slate remnants from Soviet buildings, artifacts of human presence, and insect paths imprinted in bark. The horizontal threads are the connections that hold these fragments within a shared web. Only through interrelation do they not collapse under their own weight, do not tear the network apart.
My constant returns and walking traces are recorded through GPS signals; layered onto the territory, they draw lines and form a unique pattern — a kind of signature inscribed into the landscape. This act of returning is reflected in a series of cyanotypes on fabric, closing along the perimeter the network of Witnesses and Observers.
