Question 4: Why did you leave? / Why did you go back?

I left Georgia with the age of 13, together with my mother Keti (Kapanadze) who had at that time a scholarship for 3 years in Germany (starting in 2000).

Question 5: Does your work reflect your biography?

Not literally - all the periods play independent roles based on temporary identifications, questions and indications.

Question 6: Do you have any influences from any Georgian visual art tradition which you apply to your work? Why?/Why not?

Art has no territoriality, it’s capable to survive without any source and reference to create an independent paradigmatic dialogue with its surrounding.

Question 7: Would you define your practice as feminist?

It’s not caught up in any idealism.

There is an overdose of maskuline and feminine in the world.

Leaving boundaries creates odorless sweat.

Question 8: Are you an active actant in the art scene of your current place of residence?

Art scenes of Georgia?
