Ana Gririshvili

The first corridor at the entrance of the Bílá Hora Monastery hosts a site-specific work by Ana Gzirishvili. Gzirishvili (b. 1992, Tbilisi) is an artist working across various media, including: sculpture, drawing, video, installation, performance and text. As a delicate intervention into the public space, Gzirishvili has recreated one of her pre-existing works tailored for the architectural heritage.

The sculpture made of second-hand handbags interprets polyphony in a form of objects usually carried by women, made for carrying other objects. As if, prone to constant movement and change, Untitled, 2025 gives voice to multiple anonymous women. As characteristic to Gzirishvili’s practice, the work points at questions of class, gender, displacement and state of exception.
