ARTISTS

Andro Wekua is known for making haunting mixed-media paintings, installations, and films that explore themes of memory, displacement, and conflict. This video features a mannequin of a young man positioned with its feet propped up on a dining table while fragmentary images are projected on a window behind. Waves surge, hands reach, people march, and trees rustle. Interwoven with memories of the artist’s childhood in Georgia, these visual snippets shift and morph as the room’s lighting cycles through a kaleidoscope of vibrant colors. Eventually, faint voices and distant sirens emerge and recede into a gradual crescendo that dissolves into the warmth of a crackling fire. Skirting the boundaries of reality and fiction, the work offers an evocative commentary on detachment in contemporary society.
