Mariam+Detu

Mariam Natroshvili and Detu Jincharadze are Tbilisi-based artists working together since 2011. Their practice includes multimedia and interdisciplinary projects. Focusing on themes such as disappearance and oblivion, they look for the traces of personal or collective memory, stories of people and places faded away or transformed as the results of significant socio-political or ecological events. The key medium of the artists are words, texts, VR, and CGI. Recent works are centered around superstitions and spells in contemporary reality. The duo has participated in many international and local exhibitions, including “Houston, we have a problem” - Artisterium VII; “Buildings are not enough” - Tbilisi Architecture Biennale; IDFA doclab, and other projects. Mariam Natroshvili and Detu Jincharadze have represented Georgia at the 59th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale Di Venezia with an immersive artwork I Pity the Garden comprising large-scale video installation and VR experience.
