Audio/video Performance
2025

Evenet: TKESHI FESTIVAL 2025

The audio-video performance represents a search process that metaphorically describes one side of the perception of the country's future prospects from the present. The audio part also uses certain dialogues from Aleksandre Rekhviashvili's film - The Road Home. The visual narrative describes the 4 major economic and social hubs of Tbilisi, where most of the Tbilisi population searches for various household, food and other items they need. These ecosystems are the main source of income for most of the socially vulnerable and relatively poor group of society and is the main driving economical force of the city.

Ilpo Väisänen [FIN] born in 1963 in Kuopio, Finland, is an electronic musician and sound artist known for his raw analog aesthetic and experimental approach. Originally trained in visual arts and ceramics, he co-founded the influential group Pan Sonic with Mika Vainio in the early 1990s, gaining recognition for live performances recorded straight to tape using custom-built synthesizers and minimal setups.Pan Sonic became a landmark project in electronic music, performing worldwide at institutions such as Centre Pompidou, Southbank Centre, and Sónar Festival. The group collaborated with artists like Merzbow, Sunn O))), FM Einheit, and Ryuichi Sakamoto, and received an Ars Electronica award in 2005. After the group’s split in 2009, Väisänen continued developing his own unique sonic vocabulary.

Aleksi Soselia is a curator and artist, working at the center of contemporary art – Tbilisi, since 2012. His main projects are connected to social changes, future perspectives and researching possible resources for conceptual, idea based changes. As an artist, Aleksi is working in different mediums (video, audio, 2d ) oriented to create an inclusive and participatory dynamic for different social contexts.

2025



Event: Unbound Trajectories of the Future / 
Curator: Giorgi Spanderashvili 
Supported by Goethe Institute - Tbilisi

Hosted by: Mutant Radio 




Word X Response is an a/v performance by Aleksi Soselia & Sandro Sulaberidze, presenting a journey through time and space—simultaneously an act of observation and surveillance. While the project's audial part focuses on a dialogue between two travelers, the visual narrative, captured through live cameras, attempts to trace the trajectory of their path. This approach subtly resonates with Alexandre Rekhviashvili's film "The Way Home", reflecting on the ephemeral perception of good and bad as phenomena.
