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.

For Any One of You is made with an analog negative photogram of a latex body part purchased from eBay, where a wide variety of such objects are available. Full of soft gradients in pinks, whites, and oranges, the image is pleasurable and abstract. The concentric circles in the center look like a nipple, but the image is uncanny, strange. Thinking about digital and physical alterations with face filters and fillers, Alexi-Meskhishvili uses photography as a way to think through the atomization of the body, specifically in contemporary life. Photography has long been an active participant in this conversation, mirroring our evolving cultural relationship to authenticity.
