This evening (March 17), I went to Halfsister, a gallery space in Berlin run by two Georgian sisters, for an exhibition by Mariam Giunashvili (მზესუ), a Georgian photographer, titled Disposable Highs. The mostly black-and-white photographs move between intimacy and rupture. Many were taken in Tbilisi’s (now closed) alternative bars, where the artist worked—sometimes at five bars at once—ending nights, or rather mornings, in nightclubs before returning to work again. These images capture closeness, elation, and a kind of familiarity that feels almost tactile. They are set against a different visual register, one that feels cold, displaying brutal encounters from demonstrations on Rustaveli Avenue over the past decade.
