Aslanishvili said “...this commission encourages me to expand the scope of my cinematic experimentation and to deepen a collective inquiry into how new forms of sociality might be mediated, represented and produced through moving-image practice.”

Aslanishvili’s practice is widely recognised for its rigorous research methodology and nuanced exploration of geopolitics, infrastructures and transnational histories. With this new commission, she will further expand her inquiry through an extensive collaborative research process spanning multiple contexts across Eurasia.

The Jury commented on how impressed they were by her deep collaborative research across Eurasia, in addition to her deep engagement with with histories of internationalism, while actively imagining it future forms of progressive in the region.

Aslanishvili will receive a sum of $120,000 for the production of a screen-based video artwork which will then be exhibited with each partner institution who will also receive one edition of the produced artwork.

Today’s announcement follows on from her earlier recognition as the recipient of the Han Nefkens Foundation – Museu Antoni Tàpies Video Art Production Grant 2020, underscoring her remarkable artistic progression over the past six years.

The new two-channel experimental documentary film is out, and this is my thank you note to all my dear friends, old and new, who, despite the troubles suffocating us on so many levels, have invested their energy, knowledge, and imagination into making "The Mountain Speaks to the Sea."

The film was developed in research collaboration with Alexandra Aroshvili (@martyr.loser.king ), and I'm grateful for her sharp insights and expertise. I hope this film contributes to her stubborn efforts to bring more justice to life and politics in Georgia.

@nikoloztabukashvili ’s camera work in this film is magic. He managed to enter into a dialogue with the rich cinematic history of the South Caucasian mountains, some of which is featured in the film, creating his own powerful interpretation.

Nika Pasuri (@_youknowhoe ) and Ani Zakareishvili (@kdema__ ) composed a beautifully strange and captivating score that draws the viewer into layers of confusion, beauty, danger, anticipation, and ongoing struggle. They have built both- connection and magical tension between the region’s past, present, and future through sound and music.

@dato_simonia created beautiful Georgian typography, and Viktor Bone (@rhizomarotiv ) produced precise digital reconstructions of maps. Together, they mark the territories and help navigate the region’s rivers, dams, and villages.

Two new collaborators have been a huge enrichment both professionally and personally. First, digital colorist Niko Tarielashvili (@nikotar ), who invested a lot of thought and time in bringing fragmented time-space elements, with chaotic mix of colors and scales, into a cohesive and beautiful timeline.

Second, my dear new friend, sound designer, Luka Telia, who spent nights with me and the composers to enter every detail of the music and sound, pushing their power even further.

I'm grateful to friends who provided support and feedback during different stages of production, especially @rekhviashvili.teona , @cotta.continua , @mar.mariamo , @gago_gagoshidze , @natalianebieridze_ @lukaaslanishvili

It gives me hope that we still have the strength and can find joy in working and making films together.

Thank you all!

STONE OF HELL in DISMANTLE THE ANTHROPOCENE
TEKLA ASLANISHVILI & GIORGI GAGO GAGOSHIDZE

STONE OF HELL reveals that worlds constructed by extractive industries have a short lifespan. The film is set in Chiatura—a Georgian town that was founded on the extraction of manganese, a mineral used to strengthen steel. Yet the cornerstone upon which Chiatura was built has come to be known by its residents as the ‘stone of hell’. The film of Tekla Aslansivili and Giorgi Gago Gagoshidze discloses how the mining, enrichment, and exportation of manganese weave together histories of local extraction and global political violence; how these processes operate in the interest of those in power while leaving behind exhausted bodies and landscapes.

STONE OF HELL laat zien dat werelden die zijn opgebouwd rondom extractie een korte levensduur hebben. De film speelt zich af in Chiatura, een Georgische stad die haar bestaan te danken heeft aan de winning van mangaan— een mineraal dat wordt gebruikt om staal te versterken. Maar de hoeksteen waarop Chiatura is gebouwd, is in de loop van de jaren bij de inwoners bekend komen te staan als de ‘steen van de hel’. De film van Tekla Aslansivili en Giorgi Gago Gagoshidze onthult hoe de winning, verrijking en export van mangaan geschiedenissen van lokale ontginning en geopolitiek geweld met elkaar verweven; hoe deze processen in het belang van machthebbers opereren en een spoor van uitgeputte lichamen en landschappen achterlaten.

🚂 Our next Fantastic Wednesday is coming on December 10 at 6pm, with Tekla Aslanishvili. @tekelson

We’ll meet at the PhD-In-Practice studio (room 201) at the Akademie (Schillerplatz 3, 1010 Wien) for a lecture-screening presenting fragments from Tekla Aslanishvili’s work in progress. Informal conversations and drinks will follow afterwards. Join us!

Tekla Aslanishvili’s lecture guides through her ongoing attempt to make sense of the strategic restructuring of governance, knowledge production, and practices of self-organization around energy production and transit infrastructures in the South Caucasus. By disentangling and re-weaving the threads of spatially and temporally distant political processes, intimate biographies, conflicting emotional regimes, and cinematic imaginaries shaped by the Soviet Union’s industrialization plan, she examines how these layers of past fold into the contemporary enchantments with infrastructural development.

Tekla Aslanishvili is an artist and filmmaker based between Berlin, Vienna, and Tbilisi. Her work examines the shifting relations between states, people, and their land through the lens of infrastructure, employing interdisciplinary collaboration and experimental documentary methods to excavate the fragmented histories, technologies, and myths embedded within these systems. She is currently a doctoral candidate at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and an ifk Junior Fellow. Her work has been presented in international exhibitions and biennials. She was a 2024–2025 Graduate School fellow at the Berlin University of the Arts, a 2019 Digital Earth fellow, a 2021 Ars Viva nominee, and the recipient of the Han Nefkens Foundation – Fundació Antoni Tàpies Video Art Production Award (2020).

àngels barcelona – espai 2 / project space presents a video art exhibition during the Loop Festival 2025.
(C. Dels Àngels, 16, 08001, Barcelona)

12-22.11.2025

This exhibition gathers five video works that explore the relationship between urban space and social transformation. Through perspectives ranging from the aftermath of war and speculative smart-city infrastructures to performative encounters, silent spatial studies, and acts of resistance, the artists examine how cities influence - and are influenced by - human actions, technologies, and collective aspirations. Together, the works reflect the poetic and political tensions that shape contemporary urban life.

Through perspectives ranging from the aftermath of war and speculative smart-city infrastructures to performative encounters, silent spatial studies, and acts of resistance, the artists examine how cities influence - and are influenced by - human actions, technologies, and collective aspirations. Together, the works reflect the poetic and political tensions that shape contemporary urban life.

+ Project Space by àngels barcelona - Espai2: C/ dels Àngels, 16

This exhibition brings together five video works that trace the complex interplay between urban space, social transformation.
Daniel G. Andújar’s old-school video game reveals the reality of war and shows what happens to the city, the environment, and the people after the conflict. From the speculative infrastructures of Anaklia’s smart city in Tekla Aslanishvili’s film, to Harun Farocki’s silent reflection on musical and spatial composition in Music-Video, to Nilbar Güreş’s performative dialogue with two immigrant women on Governor’s Island - formerly a well-known military base in the United States - confronting power and belonging, and finally to Daniela Ortis’s intimate gesture of destroying a fascist Italian knife as an act of transformation, making, and resistance.
Each work reveals how cities shape, and are shaped by, human gestures, technologies, and dreams. Ties with the City explores the poetic and political tensions that define our contemporary urban condition.

Honor (2006) is a video by Daniel García Andújar, part of his long-term project Postcapital Archive (1989–2001). Constructed from trailers of war-themed video games and amateur footage from real conflicts, it exposes the collapse between simulated and actual warfare in the post-9/11 era. The work deconstructs notions of heroism, precision, and “honor,” revealing how military, media, and entertainment industries fuse into a single apparatus of control and spectacle. Seen today, amid the ongoing violence in Gaza and elsewhere, Honor resonates as a prescient critique of the normalization and aestheticization of war in the digital age.

The work deconstructs notions of heroism, precision, and “honor,” revealing how military, media, and entertainment industries fuse into a single apparatus of control and spectacle. Seen today, amid the ongoing violence in Gaza and elsewhere, Honor resonates as a prescient critique of the normalization and aestheticization of war in the digital age.

Loop 2025 12.11.25 > 22.11.25
+ Project Space by àngels barcelona - Espai2: C/ dels Àngels, 16

This exhibition brings together five video works that trace the complex interplay between urban space, social transformation.
Daniel G. Andújar’s old-school video game reveals the reality of war and shows what happens to the city, the environment, and the people after the conflict. From the speculative infrastructures of Anaklia’s smart city in Tekla Aslanishvili’s film, to Harun Farocki’s silent reflection on musical and spatial composition in Music-Video, to Nilbar Güreş’s performative dialogue with two immigrant women on Governor’s Island - formerly a well-known military base in the United States - confronting power and belonging, and finally to Daniela Ortis’s intimate gesture of destroying a fascist Italian knife as an act of transformation, making, and resistance.
Each work reveals how cities shape, and are shaped by, human gestures, technologies, and dreams. Ties with the City explores the poetic and political tensions that define our contemporary urban condition.

📅 Opening: Thu, 16 Oct 2025 | 6 pm
📍 Nassauischer Kunstverein Wiesbaden

The artist Tekla Aslanishvili (*1988 in Tbilisi, Georgia) presents her first major solo exhibition in Germany.
In her video works, she explores how infrastructures – from railway lines to energy grids – shape political power, social utopias, and geopolitical conflicts.

The Plan and the Map weaves together meticulous research and poetic imagery to create a multilayered filmic chronicle of the construction, collapse, and transformation of infrastructure.
The exhibition architecture is designed by Natalia Nebieridze @natalianebieridze and features photographs by Nikoloz Tabukashvili @nikoloztabukashvili and Guram Tikanadze, expanding the cinematic narrative into space.

Stone of Hell – Co-Regie: Giorgi Gago Gagoshidze (@gago_gagoshidze)
A State in a State – entwickelt in Forschungskooperation mit Evelina Gambino (@cotta.continua)
The Mountain Speaks to the Sea – entwickelt in Zusammenarbeit mit Alexandra Aroshvili (@martyr.loser.king)

Key collaborations also include the cinematographer and Georgian composers Nika Pasuri @youknowhoe & Ani Zakareishvili @kdema_

The film Scenes from Trial and Error (2020) is also this year’s contribution to the exground filmfest.

A STATE IN A STATE / ᲡᲐᲮᲔᲚᲛᲬᲘᲤᲝ ᲡᲐᲮᲔᲚᲛᲬᲘᲤᲝᲨᲘ directed by Tekla Aslanishvili @tekelson

Screening with Queer Armenian Shorts ‘postDIY’ directed by Lucine Talalyan @lucinetalalyan and ‘Delicious Fruit’ directed by Mel Boyajian @melboyajian, this lineup brings together three experimental films from the South Caucasus.

🇬🇪A State in a State, traces the fragmented railway infrastructure across Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia in a slow yet vivid homage to a region torn by ethnic hatred, corruption and the convulsions of Russian colonialism.

🇦🇲 postDIY navigates embodiment, community and affect in the aftermath of the nationalist bombing of Yerevan’s queer club DIY.

🇦🇲 Delicious Fruit cuts scenes from Sergei Parajanov’s iconic feature The Colour of Pomegranates with images of the filmmaker themselves, eating a pomegranate. The result is an abstract montage, suturing together the suppressed history of queer desire and aesthetics in Armenia prior, during and after Soviet colonialism.

Screening ONE WEEK TODAY at @thepyramid.scot with an introduction by curator misha irek @mikhaillikestocomplain

PWYC tickets are now available via the link in our bio 🎟️
