To some extent, ‘Sphere’, whose striking installation
occupies a recess of the gallery space, tells a similar
story, one of changing identity and of permanent
community, one of a continuous and desperate fight
against uniformity; it was much celebrated when it
was first shown at the 54th Venice Biennale where
Tamara Kvesitadze represented Georgia in 2011.
The critic Henk Slager wrote then that it showed
“the dynamic reality of processes of mutation and
transformation, of human beings as the ‘builders of
spheres’ (Peter Sloterdijk) – a being aware of once
having been forced to live on a globe or a sphere, i.e.
worlds to be designed again and again.”
