LC Queisser is pleased to present works by Ketuta Alexi-Meskhishvili. Alexi-Meskhishvili's photographs combine digital, analog, snapshot, and staged photographic techniques. Through these combinations, she builds a visual language wherein technical decisions become symbolic, describing cultural conditions of photographic production, representation, and circulation. By layering, redacting, and staging the content and form of her images, Alexi-Meskhishvili creates carefully orchestrated images that read more as scenes, full of meaning and time, than as moments. Mysterious and cryptic, Alexi-Meskhishvili's scenes are abstract. By working heavily with ambiance and mood, she leaves us with a strong feeling, almost a nostalgia for or memory of an event or history.


We see one foot of a tripod position on a crinkled iridescent plastic backdrop laid parallel to the camera lens. A book whose title is obscured by Fall leaves lies atop the plastic, its cover shows a weathered image of a flower. Moments in the image indicate a work in process, the blurred upper left-hand corner, and the black border. The conditions of the image's genesis are mysterious, clues leading us to walk through texture, color, and composition. The walk is disoriented, engrossing, and romantic. It's unclear which aspects of the image were decisions made by the photographer or the camera, given Alexi-Meskhishivili's distinctive use of both digital and analog photographic techniques. While there is ambiguity around where we've arrived and who has led us there, there is a clear sense of having stumbled upon something beautiful, compelling, and refreshing.
