TIKO IMNADZE
Tiko is a multimedia artist based in Tbilisi, Georgia. Three petrol pistols, adorned with crosses, symbolize unchecked capitalism and the sanctification of profitable resources, disregarding human health and nature. Through salvaged pistols and crosses, the artist demonstrates the boundlessness of systemically entrenched forms of power in Georgia and globally.

Year of participation

Currently, my recent work centers on the Mtkvari River in Georgia, which serves as a powerful identity symbol for Tbilisi. The river has played a crucial role in the practical, spiritual, and social development of the local society.
As part of my future plans, I aim to continue developing this topic and provide a stimulating and creative environment. In the context, I will further investigate identity as a subject, exploring how power dynamics, such as those during the Soviet Era, have reshaped and influenced it. This research will deepen my understanding of the complex relationship between identity, history, and social change, offering new insights into my ongoing artistic exploration.
