Ketuta Alexi-Meskhishvili

Ketuta Alexi-Meskhishvili (born in 1979 in Tbilisi) is a Georgian-American photographer living in Berlin. She studied at Bard College, Annandale, NY under Stephen Shore, An My Lee and Barbara Ess. Her work stands at the confluence of digital and analog photography. Images she makes are straight snapshots or intricately staged photographs, which then undergo a process of altering by hand or digital means, or a mix of both. The multilayered manner in which she combines these interventions, while experimental and often intuitive, converges on a conceptual logic of choreographing and staging not just surfaces, but the conditions of photographic representation.
