Ketuta Alexi-Meskhishvili: Dark Dawn

Ketuta Alexi-Meskhishvili (b. 1979, Tbilisi) is a Georgian-American photographer based in Berlin. Utilising both analogue and digital reproduction techniques, she continually pushes the boundaries of her medium, creating works where the process of production is as crucial as the imagery itself.

For her solo exhibition at the Warrnambool Art Gallery, Alexi-Meskhishvili presents a series of newly commissioned works that foster a dialogue between handmade photographs on paper and industrial produced prints on aluminium. Within this interplay of fleeting and endurable techniques, a compelling tension arises between the ephemeral and the permanent, revealing not only the possibilities of printmaking but, on a metaphysical level, our very experience of existence.
