Word X Response
Aleksi Soselia & Sandro Sulaberidze
Word X Response is an a/v performance by Aleksi Soselia & Sandro Sulaberidze, presenting a journey through time and space—simultaneously an act of observation and surveillance. While the project's audial part focuses on a dialogue between two travelers, the visual narrative, captured through live cameras, attempts to trace the trajectory of their path. This approach subtly resonates with Alexandre Rekhviashvili's film "The Way Home", reflecting on the ephemeral perception of good and bad as phenomena.
