Exhibitions

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.

Combining technical mastery with a deep understanding of the medium’s history, Alexi-Meskhishvili creates ambiguous, luminous works that move far beyond mere visual appeal. By positioning aesthetics as a tool of resistance, Alexi-Meskhishvili claims space for the personal and political, withstanding simplified interpretations. In her practice, beautiful images become an act of defiance, offering a resonant way of seeing and making sense of the complicated world we inhabit.
