Mariam Amurvelashvili is exhibiting her Endless Questions photography at Europe House in Tbilisi from 12-18 May 2016 as part of the Kolga Tbilisi Photo contest. The Kolga Tbilisi Photo
exhibition is a week-long event for local and international
photographers. It is the largest and most prestigious photo contest in Georgia.
Mariam Amurvelashvili commenced photography in 2002. Her collaboration with
UNICEF resulted in her photographs being displayed in Cambodia, Bangladesh, and
Syria from 2010-2012.
After travelling and photographing other people’s lives, she questioned
whether that was ‘enough’ as she balanced her career with that of her personal
life with two children. So she took a pause in her photography career.
In the interim she began to photograph her children. In this exhibition she
describes her photographic work, not as an observer, but as a participant, a
player, like her children – ‘the three of us were trying to look at each other,
our fears, emotions, and ask questions to each other.’ This exhibition is from
her first publication in 2015, called Endless Questions.
