EDITOR'S LETTER

CONTROL FREAK Have you ever thought about who you are in this world? Have you ever thought about what people think about your past, your style, your manner of talking? I think a lot about how my identity is expressed, my individuality, how people perceive me. For me the definition of identity isn’t clear. But I think it’s a process and what we create during our life, except things that we are born with- like the colour of our eyes, hair- things that we can’t choose. If someone asked me to identify myself in two words, I would definitely say- “I am a Control Freak”. I admit that I’m obsessed with control and that it’s not something that I like. It’s just a part of my identity, which I didn’t choose. I’m a perfectionist, I like when really small details work out the way I imagined, being a “Control Freak” helps me in achieving that. There are things that are part of our identity that we acquire through our life. For me that would definitely be my friends, which I personally chose and now they are part of my identity. “Show me you friend and I’ll tell who you are!”- See my friends in this issue of the magazine and get to know them. The topic of new issue of the “Photoessay” is ID- Identity. Guram Muradov 6

ID - I’m Demon

Generally beginnings aren’t the greatest thing in the world, but I’ll have to start. As I observed, identity is the topic, which we really like to talk about in Georgia, but we don’t want to think about it at all. If we narrow down this topic, we get all the conflicts and hysterias from the last month. It’s already a tradition that May is the month of fighting for “Georgian” identity. We don’t know yet where they are taking Georgian identity, or how are they using it, but everybody knows that in May people are trying to take “Georgian Identity” away. Then people start to fight with imaginary demons, witch hunt and separating society into people with “good identity” and people with “bad identity”. So we used this chance and the main topic of the new issue of the “Photoessay” is identity. ID- as part of our identity, where it starts, when and under which circumstances? Why do we need to separate people according to their identity, and why do we believe that different identity causes any danger to our own, considering the fact that we all have different types of identity? I think a lot about this topic, but you can get more information from Eana Korbezashvili”s photo project, she presents life of Rusudan Gotsiridze- Bishop in the Evangelical Baptist Church.

Guest photographer Dina Oginova will show us the places, where identity of young generation is born. Project “My Space” gave chance to young people to talk about their space and identity. Guram Muradov’s photo project will show you how a person can express his/her identity through body. Tattoo as a form of art and as a way of expressing your personality in a declarative way. Portraits of Temo Jincharadze will show us why people want to show their emotions to others. Qeta Gvinepadze will present women. Women, which are killed weekly, husbands cut their ears, beat them to death just for fun. The reason behind this fact is that women don’t want to be in the “kitchen” any more. 2.0 Rubric will show you Georgian workers in a different way through Charles Roffey’s photo project. You can find this and other interesting articles in the third issue of the “Photoessay”, with main topic- ID. And at last, I want to finish my part with the words of one of our guests: “If people thought who they were, with whom they were standing, why they were standing there, where they are going then nobody can use anyone for violence.” Lasha Qavtaradze

EDITOR'S LETTER

PORTRAIT

TEMO JINTCHARADZE I T S peci alist

“I was twenty years old, when I got my first tattoo. It was hard for a lot of people to see tattoos as a form of art. But for young people it’s clear.”

“My body is my magazne, tattoos tell the stories, which is written in my magazine. S o ev ery tattoo is c onnec ted w ith partic ular story , but this are d etails, which I’m going to keep for myself.“ 15

“A tattoo could be part of a person’s identity, or just your own position, way of showing your emotions. It’s kind of an information about yourself. But everything depends on the form and content of the tattoo. For me this is a way of showing and expressing my personality. I’m not trying to show my extraordinarily. I have my own position and attitude, at first towards myself and then towards the whole world.” 17

“Everyone should be free to express his/her identity, even using tattoos and I can’t see any reason why should anyone not enjoy this right. Today it’s really complicated in our country. For me identity isn’t the same as “naked soul.” Showing your identity is part of presenting of yourself to a society, but of course everything won’t be clear for everyone. It’s impossible to read everything from a tattoo.” 18

“I don’t agree with the opinion, that as person grows old his/her attitudes change. I don’t think that it’s this way. I think taste changes or it’s possible, that changes are part of development process.” 20

It’s hard to erase a tattoo, it’s also really hard to get it out from your mind, what you wrote in “your own magazine.” If a person wants to escape, than tattoo can’t stop this fact. Even if you erase it, still it’s part of your memory.” 22

CHRISTIAN

DOCUMENTARY

RUSUDAN GOTSIRIDZE Bishop of the Evangelical Baptist Church of Georgia

BISHOP IN THE COMUNAL CULTURE Rusudan Gotsiridze is one of the people, who has struggled a lot for her identity, but she still manages to help people overcome their problems. What’s it like to be a head of church as a woman in Georgia, to be next to people fighting for their identity and protect their rights? That’s the reason why she was selected and honoured by the State Department as a 2014 International Women of Courage. “Getting this award was a really strange story in my life. Deeds which I was awarded for are the main duties of any Bishop: If you see facts of discrimination, persecution, oppression you have to stand next to them. It wasn’t easy to agree to get this award. I had an amazing chance to stand next to 9 incredible women, which really deserved it, because they risked their lives to save others. It’s awkward to get awarded for helping people who are discriminated. It’s not a good thing to pay big attention to a fact, that Bishops help people who are oppressed because of their religion beliefs, sexual orientation.” 26

“It’s really interesting to find out who is governing our country- Gabedava, Prime minister of the common law.” 28

“I was born during the soviet union, the period when nobody talked about identity. Everybody was supposed to look alike, we had to think in the same way about patriotism, our country, Lenin, about everything. It was a good thing to be a part of mainstream, to adjust to different situations. It wasn’t just on a political level, it was a way of life. We don’t have an individualistic culture, to clear we have more like communal culture, which means where you came from affects your identity- this is important. It’s crucial to understand your community and be a part of it, follow every rule, tradition without questioning it, because it’s a binding factor.” 30

“We are a small nation and in a way you can explain it. If it was just part of soviet time, it would be much easier to get rid of it, but this is not the case- from my point of view. We were often being oppressed, after which we became realists and thought that we have to think alike, look alike and everybody that’s not like us is an enemy.” 31

“We are artists and poets inside. When we are talking about identity, that means that we have to dig a little bit further and explore ourselves. After you find out about yourself, you have to look around and see how deep people are around you. That’s the point when you start appreciating people around you. We are shallow people, we have no time to explore the depth of our personality. That’s the reason of our shallow patriotism, Christianity, religiousness, debauchees, parents, sons and daughters, respecters of women rights, respecters of our ancestors. I think that this is a problem, we have to at first find out who we are and then look at where we standing and where we should be.” 32

“It’s not easy to gather 40 thousand people, who believe they know their identity and discriminate others. If people thought about who they are, with whom they are standing, w hy they are stand ing there, w here they are going, then it w ould be im possible to use people for violence.” 39

DINA OGANOVA Photographer â&#x20AC;&#x153;MY PLACEâ&#x20AC;? The new generation of Georgia. The first generation, which was born during the last years of the Soviet Union and grew up in independent Georgia. Generation, which believes that they are in the crossroads of two centuries and have the ability to make big changes in their country. They are captured in their own comfort zone, with their favorite things around them, which helps them to open up and tell their stories.

MARTHA “Who have to exist for only reading, only art. But you have to be a real artist, if you want to live in Batumi during the winter. It’s not a city where you can freely share your emotions, express them and get feedback. My childhood wasn’t as easy as people might thing. When people think of their childhood, they imagine bright colours and want to go back, they aren’t happy to grow older. But I’m happy that I’m growing older, because I didn’t have a childhood at all. I grew up in a really complicated family, it wasn’t even a family, there was just my mom, who adopted me. She was a really complicated person with psychological and many other problems, which automatically affected me. She was never able to look at me as her daughter, she adopted me just to stay married, but it didn’t work out... When you are growing up in this kind of environment there are many traumatic situations, painful moments, but still there are times when you’re happy. I never regret that it happened this way. If I grew up in a different environment, I could have been a different person, just a regular girl. Contrary it gave me a strength and I’m glad that what was meant to be for me happened. If you want to sense the power of love, you have to start from the people which hurt you the most and start loving them. This is the first step, after this step you can start loving other people.” 44

NATA “Sandro was 18, I was 16. He was walking with his laptop in the city and showing Holland to me for the first time... We met three years ago and after that I can’t imagine my life without him, it doesn’t matter that we only lived couple months together. I think this is real love and I can’t imagine waking up without him next to me in bed. We were supposed to get married, but we didn’t… It’s just my fault, because I’m a high maintenance person, so he got tired of me… When I got pregnant he was really excited, he really wanted this baby... I was shocked when he left when I was 5 month pregnant. It’s been 2 years since he left, but I still have feelings for him...”

ANIKA “ E v ery thing around us is transient and y ou c an sell love, art, earth, me, you, especially me.” In this city there are many things that I like and many things that I don’t. Despite the fact that I really want to be far from this country, there are still many things that make me stay and live here. I really like people selling stuff in the streets- mainly flowers and books, it gives a different flavor to the city. I really don’t like the fact that people around me are really cold, especially with relationships, people aren’t united. Tbilisi needs to shrink, people are still diverse. Everything looks like plural properties, but it’s not only the buildings, but also the people... There is so much falseness and coldness, and because of this everyone around me is artificial...”

BATUKELA “I have no idea what to expect of me. R ealiz ing the plac e w here y ou are is the biggest harmony what could possibly be in the world. I like people, now and every minute of my life. I like interesting people. I’m always happy. It’s great when you realize happy moments of your life, then you don’t have much time left to think about all the silly things around you. There isn’t a thing that I don’t love, I always forgive until that person isn’t tired of making mistakes. I’m not really sure about my profession, I want to do ev ery thing, m y astrologic al sign is Gem ini and by the way I’m really interested in this topic.“

DAVID-MIKHEIL “From childhood I was getting ready to be a priest. It’s a paradox, but I studied in a theological seminary for 2 years. At this time I got information, that wasn’t interesting for me as a child. You think that you are uniq ue in this w orld , and y ou are the only one w ith this “problem”... You think unthinkable things: “Why was I born this way, I’m not going to be this way from tomorrow.” When I think of that time it’s still funny for me. Literature really helped me in a way that my family wasn’t able to, because they had no information... Same situation was in school. My first kiss was with my classmate, which I loved until the 7th grade. His brother even beat me up for this, but when I think... This wasn’t happening because I wanted it to happen, but this was just imitation. I had a picture of the perfect man in front of me: “ when y ou grow up y ou hav e to stud y , get m arried , hav e kids” and this is the real happiness, this is a Georgian Dream. I was about 18-19 years old when I told my parents: “I’m not what you think I am, I’m different and please promise me that you will love me the way I am... Mom, dad I’m gay!”

QETA “It always hard for me to start. It’s probably, because I’m lazy, But if I start I’ll make sure to finish it. I w as around 7 y ears old , w hen they organiz ed a beauty c ontest, in the beginning I had no id ea w hat it meant... I won the “Miss smile” title. I remember this, because I had no teeth that time. I’m really happy to be born in Georgia... Nineties was a great tim e period , but I alw ay s w anted to liv e in a period, when there was no TV, phone, internet. If I had the chance to choose, I would be born in 18-19 c entury Georgia, w hen y ou had the c hanc e to hand write letters and wait for the reply, now you can write on Facebook and get immediate answers... I really like the movie “Midnight in Paris.” I think I’m the main character...”

MEGI “When I was a little kid I wanted to grow up fast. I’m living in Germany right now, which was my parents’ idea. I’m learning the language and touring other countries, which are really close to Germany. It’s hasn’t been a long enough to think about coming back, but sometimes I really miss everything... I really wanted to get married in Paris. I want to wear a red dress and ride a white bike covered with flowers around the city. Then with my bridesmaids I’ll drink alc oholic bev erages in the street and listen to N ino Katamadze, who would sing and perform just for me...”

NATALIE “I live for my own sake and I don’t care who is interested in me. I was waiting for summer to come, bec ause I had the c hanc e to trav el to M osc ow , this w as my dream, I have spent many of my summer vacations there. Me and my brother were always fighting, m y m other w as em barrassed to go out in public w ith us, because of our attitudes. In Russia environment is really different and it’s easy to notice noisy kids in the streets. What kind of artist am I, it’s been a long time since I last held my brush... I was a young girl with huge perspective, art was part of my childhood and I always dreamed to study in an art academy, which... When I got there every dream of mine was teared down. For me art academy was a different world, the place w here only spec ial people c an go, people w ith spec ial abilities, w hic h c an bec om e artists and c reate som ething that puts their names in history. When I got there and saw people w ith no talent, I realiz ed that I w as in the wrong place. I hated my school starting from first grade and finishing with 11th, without any break. I fought with each and every one of the boys at my class. Georgia is a c ountry w here I w as born, raised , w here I live right now and I’m not planning to move anywhere else, I t sound s really banal, but this is a plac e w here my roots are.”

QEU “There are moments of disgust and moments of love. Overall Tbilisi is the city where people wear black and think it looks nice. If people wore what they like, express themselves, then the situation would get better. People here hav e no d esire to d o and c reate som ething new. That’s probably, because they know what the result would be. They prefer to live a standard life. They are afraid of other people, they don’t want to take risks. They prefer to be just an ordinary people. They might think differently when they are alone, but they never speak about it aloud. The environment around me puts me in a box and I can’t express myself fully. But still it inspires me to do something. From the beginning I wasn’t meant to be born, but I escaped death and now I’m like a dead soul, half dead and half alive.“

ROSTOM “I live with my mother in a harmonious environment. When my dad died he didn’t even know how old my mom was. He thought that he was 13 years older than her, then I came across with her birth certificate and found out that age difference was just 8 years. She still hides her real age and says: “What do you think my age is? I’m as old as you think I am. “ “Rosotm is a really good person, everybody likes him, but sometimes he drives me crazy. He never considers my opinion to go to sleep early, because he’s always busy, he has many different things to do, he is altar serv er in c hurc h, also teac hes art at sc hool, he alw ay s has things to do in the institute of manuscripts, but most of the time he’s hungry, because eating isn’t an important thing for him... He eats very little, he’s really skinny and that bothers me, I’m always nervous about him and his life. He is a caring son, we’re good friends, but he’s not fully open with me, I don’t know about his love life, who is he attracted to . I know everything’s fine, everybody around him is really nice, but I have no idea who his girlfriend is. Sometimes I tell him, that before he rushes into a serious relationship to let me meet her, maybe I’ll like her, maybe I won’t, I’ll give them some advices, but it doesn’t matters, whoever he chooses will be my daughter.”

“HAVE YOU WASHED YOUR HANDS?” For the last three-month there were 13 cases of women being killed. This happened during a time when it’s considered that talking about women’s problems is no longer necessary. Society still perceives women as “private property”, she has her own corner, does particular duties and her body is more important, than her personality. Q eta Gv inepad z e

“All my life I always wanted to run away, but where, from whom and why- I never knew, finally I was in London and… That was me running away.”

“I ran away- from something, someone, from everything- I don’t know... I just found out that I was running away from myself, from myself, which greeted me here and finally I fell in love with it.” 80

“So I am Marika, with curly hair, 28 years old. People tell me that I’m a Rebel. After I got to know of myself, I excepted what I am and fell in love with it, I feel that I am here.”

“When I return to Tbilisi, there is a feeling of protest inside me. And during one of my visits, I’ll bring pictures of gay women and that will be my first big personal revolution.”

GEORGIAN WORKERS IN THE FOCUS OF AN AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER “I am very much an amateur photographer. I have been travelling all my life, having been born in S om aliland to E nglish parents and hav ing liv ed also in L ebanon, T hailand , E ngland and Australia already before I was ten years old. I moved to Amsterdam to live with my partner back in 1987, half a lifetime ago. Losing my job in 2004 gave an added stimulus to my sense of adventure as it allowed me to take six months to travel from Istanbul, through the Middle East, down through East Africa to finally end up in Cape Town. During this time, I kept a blog and a photographic record of my travels on flickr.com My photography has always been a hobby but something I have enjoyed sharing with the world through Flickr, where I have had close to 40 million v iew c ounts in nine y ears, w hilst m any photos hav e end ed up on num erous w ebsites, ow ing to the Creative Commons licence. During this period, I gradually developed a style of trying to portray the beauty of everyday life, as an antidote to the mainstream media obsessions with manufactured beauty or contrived misery. This was particularly so in countries like Syria and Yemen which are often viewed as axis-of-evil states full of crazed Islamists or in Africa where the media is obsessed by starving children and scenes of unbelievable horror and poverty. The reality is, of course, very different, ordinary people going about their daily lives, quite often showing a remarkable degree of hospitality to strangers and more than happy to be photographed. After trips along the Black Sea coast of Turkey and visits to Bulgaria and Odessa, I decided to fill in another part of the Black Sea jigsaw by visiting Georgia in the summer of 2012. The circle has now been completed, after recent trips to Russia last October and Romania in April. Arriving in Tbilisi in July, I was very surprised to see what a beautiful city it was and I was charmed by the old houses with their stylish balconies, built up the sides of the valley. A lot of renovation work was going on with old houses being restored and roads being improved with the result that workmen could be seen all over the city, starting with the streets around the hotel. They gradually became the focus of my camera’s attention. Handsome men, proud of their masculinity, working together to bring new life to their capital city. The buildings would be rebuilt and remain for many years, but this would be a one-off chance to photograph the men whose efforts created them. Some of the photos were taken with full knowledge of the workmen, others candidly.”

NINO SEPIASHVILI Designer “We know what we are, but we have no idea of what we’ll be,”- These words belong to Shakespeare and I agree with it. It’s weird, but literature inspires me. Even more than paintings. I can love different books at different times and from each of them I get to know of something new about myself. My identity is connected with the colour black. Different materials help me express myself. While using them I can express every little detail that I find in different characters. Unintentionally, I hide faces in my work. That’s probably because they never fully show me themselves. They don’t have finished faces, it’s possible that they are aware of their own faces, but they don’t know what they’ll become... so I never leave them alone with visitors.”

“PAGE. 12”

The city is surrounded by the mountains. Me and Aria are going d ow n and getting c lose to houses, but as w e are getting c loser, the light in the houses goes out. Aria barks and runs. I stay alone. The city isn’t empty. It’s not dark as it seemed. I’m walking like I’v been here for a long time. As if I’ve never gone to other places.

“The city is surrounded by the mountains”he told me and died.

I have entered.

I think I’ll go around them. I will sit on the Am eric an rollerc oaster and then run hom e, Aria is already waiting for me.

The city is surrounded by the mountains. As it usually happens to me, I can’t decide if I forget about it, or the city really changes. I look for Aria. Then I have the desire to get home really late, just before sun starts to raise, sit in the backyard and read a book. The book which is buried under the tree. After daybreak, I can drink tea and go to sleep. That’s the reason why I won’t go home. I am walking toward the part of the city where the old park is located. At the main entrance you can still hear the sound of domino. On the right side, where trees are and on the left side where American rollercoaster’s are standing, I can see familiar faces. I knew them before, they were coming here often. They were coming here when they

116

were sick and had no ability to talk. I would look down when I noticed them. I remember how I was walking around the men who were staring at the floor covered with bread crumbs. They came to me, when police asked me to sign a death report. This man was here while I was living in this city. That’s why I hate everyone.

Or go directly to the rollercoaster. From there I can see my home. You can see a figure on top of the roof, which looks like the broken mast of the ship. ** I walking toward my home and I see a figure of a man covered with yellow light. Aria is waiting. ** And as it’s during the final scene, I grab a book from the shelf and turn the page which I really like. Now Peter Pan arrived in London. To look for his shadow. My city is in between two mountains. Sign on the 12th page: “Don’t stop looking, wake up.”

NEWBIE

GIORGI KARTOZIA ‘ACADEMY’ “I’m an amateur photographer. I study at the Art Academy, my major is architecture, this is my sophomore year. Today art academy isn’t the place where I would be able to develop as a professional and learn new things. The main thing that upsets me is the way of teaching us things. They avoid all the modern ways of teaching, which affects the quality. It’s almost impossible to become a modern artist. Our protest was based on the teaching environment at the academy. We started protesting after we came across problems with our teachers, curriculum, teaching methods. After this we are trying to stick together and improve the environment here. There are manifestations, lectures about the main content of the problem and etc. Unwilling administration to change anything. We believe that our protests will give us at least some improvements.”

119

Luiza Lageradze, Lecturer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Teaching process in the art academy has many problems, which makes us protest it. University is the place, where teachers and students are united. That why we teachers and students have to think together about the ways of solving these problems.â&#x20AC;? 120

121

Atu Gelovani, 20 years old. “Freedom is exactly not obeying things that are given and trying to change them. The result isn’t the most important part, trying is the crucial part. Today in the academy we students are fighting to get our freedom back.” 122

123

Salome Korganashvili, 23 years old. “It’s really hard for me to understand how can you pay money for your education and then not care about the quality. I can’t understand how can you not have a protest against institutions that just robs you.” 124

125

126

Tornike Tatishvili, 20 years old. “It’s a good thing if people get angry and start thinking about the problems which we raised in the education sphere, thinking about this problem can really help us. The aggression which is caused by our protest is normal. But aggression should be transferred into a deep interest to this topic. I will repeat that aggression is a weakness!” 127

Tato, 20 years old. “Academy is like aquarium, if you periodically don’t change the water there, the fish living inside will die.” 128
