Tekla Aslanishvili

Tekla Aslanishvili is an artist, filmmaker and essayist. Her work reflects on the intersections between history, geopolitics and infrastructure for transport and energy. She often adopts an interdisciplinary perspective by collaborating with researchers and develops experimental documentary formats after an extensive research phase.

Two films are being screened at the Berlinische Galerie: In “Scenes from Trial and Error” (2020, 30 min.) the artist takes a close look at the planned city Anaklia in Georgia. A little fishing village on the Black Sea is to be transformed into a futuristic „smart city“ but for the last 20 years implementation has failed again and again. “A State in a State” (2022, 47 min.) has its primary focus on the “BTK” rail route which runs from Baku in Azerbaijan via the Georgian capital Tbilisi to Kars in Türkiye and about the fragile political boundaries that have emerged in the South Caucasus and Caspian regions since the collapse of the Soviet Union.
