BASTARD SUN - SOPHIO MEDOIDZE GEBUNDEN

Sophio Medoidze's (b. Tbilisi  then USSR  1978  lives and works in London) practice encompasses
film  photography  writing  and sculpture and explores the poetic potential of uncertainty. Her
work has been shown at Tate Modern  the Fondation Vincent van Gogh Arles  the Serpentine
Gallery  the Close Up Film Centre  Kunstmuseum Luzern  and the Whitechapel Gallery  amongst
others. For a time she worked anonymously as part of the Clara Emigrand collective 
disseminating her work outside the gallery context. Medoidze explores the relationship between
rural and urban  languages and translations  as well as gender politics and dynamics. Her works
often emerge from writing and unfold as installations incorporating moving image  sculpture 
and text. The publication Bastard Sun brings together a collection of photographs taken after
the civil unrest in Georgia in the 1990s with short texts written over the subsequent visits to
Georgia  together with a collection of twelve short stories. Medoidze's writing provides
nuanced and at times humorous reflections on personal and political change. Bastard Sun is
co-published with KONA BOOKS  a Tbilisi-based publishing house that focuses on contemporary
visual and interdisciplinary projects.
