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.


A woman's arm is raised in front of a sheer textile backdrop. The arm looks strong holding this confident gesture. We see muscular definition in her bicep, as well as thin blue veins traveling up the arm from the torso. Recalling Cecil Beaton's photographs, the lighting allows the delicacy of the fabric behind her to become sculptural, to hold form, and take up space. The pose and musculature of the arm brings to mind athleticism, a sense of hard work and physical dedication over time. Both the arm and the fabric contain an effortless simultaneity of resilience and yielding, fragility, and structure concomitant. Alexi-Meskhishvili depicts this coexistence as comfortable, natural.
