The visually gripping and deeply poignant “Winter which was not there” (2017) by the Georgian artist Vajiko Chachkhiani (born 1985) invites us to think about an individual’s existence and the hidden layers of the past.
A sculpture, pulled up from the bottom of the sea under a watchful eye and hitched to the back of a car.
A sculpture, dragged callously along roads and through the streets until it ceases to exist.
“Winter which was not there” shows us a poetic and symbolic interpretation of a person’s identity and the erasing of one’s own past. Even if there remains nothing but emptiness, is the past really gone? Can the past really disappear if there is still someone who remembers?
