Sara Laviashvili
Photographer and installation artist. Graduated with honors from the photography department of Minshar Art School in 2011, with a combination of B.A.Department of Humanities studies in the Open University, Tel Aviv-Jaffa, Israel. A member of the Union of Visual Artists. Currently based in Israel, lives and works in Jaffa-Tel Aviv.
My works come into being with the space, when an element in it drives the idea and the result and is a main part of it.
Through photography and installation I try to create a new reality of space/reading, based on a perception that there is no single truth, and any attempt to present it is partial and limited. My works focus on the creation and constant change of the urban space. My practice allows me to create and mediate a subjective observation of this space in a demonstrably manipulative way by dismantling and rebuilding, which allows the audience to ask themselves what they actually see, and to what extent this reality exists.
