Lia is a small village with a population of 1523 people. It is 22 kilometers away from the administrative center of Samegrelo, Zugdidi. While I was staying in Zugdidi the locals told me there were two families grieving in the village Lia. Samegrelo is very interconnected: people have family members across different cities and villages. Consequently, news, particularly concerning matters of death, spreads rapidly throughout the region. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e05938c7189a39adfdd3f8/185294da-d892-4e08-a78e-e0279bedb6c9/DSCF8922-.jpg Work - Post Mortem https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e05938c7189a39adfdd3f8/9f2014fe-6df5-4a8e-8f91-1c2e401e9a51/E_1244_29.7_L.jpg Work - Post Mortem The funeral of a young child in Chiatura, 1918. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e05938c7189a39adfdd3f8/6a52abc5-c542-4fc9-9ba4-27ba2ee6195e/DSCF8996-.jpg Work - Post Mortem https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e05938c7189a39adfdd3f8/e4c783de-1b79-4d10-8d19-81baa990ae56/E_1247_30.3_L.jpg Work - Post Mortem A funeral in Chiatura, 1918.

Most death-related rituals to this day are conducted in people’s homes, where the body remains in the living room for up to five days. Funerals take place only on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. In smaller villages, neighbours even refrain from turning on the TV as a sign of respect to the grieving family. Samegrelo, a region in western Georgia, has its unique approach to death. Among all parts of Georgia, Samegrelo stands out for its extensive use of visual tools to represent death and honor the deceased. During my week in Samegrelo, I encountered two families grieving in the village of Lia. Older generations in Samegrelo are accustomed to cameras during death rituals, as in the 1990s, they often hired videographers to document wakes and funerals. While explaining my interest in capturing these moments to the villagers, they expressed sadness over the globalization of death customs. Fewer people adhere to traditional funeral practices, opting instead to hire companies to manage the rituals. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e05938c7189a39adfdd3f8/82a286db-e63d-4e73-87c5-4bae770ed074/DSCF9093-VSCO.jpg Work - Post Mortem https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e05938c7189a39adfdd3f8/622b211f-5819-4d55-b242-1cc9d9c67687/DSCF9142-VSCO.jpg Work - Post Mortem https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e05938c7189a39adfdd3f8/82cf226a-0605-407a-933c-abf160cedb4a/DSCF9255-VSCO.jpg Work - Post Mortem https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e05938c7189a39adfdd3f8/80482c4e-9899-4bfe-8b16-0dab7f13a364/DSCF9411-VSCO.jpg Work - Post Mortem https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e05938c7189a39adfdd3f8/b5e5a153-88a8-420a-a185-bb672d82d3bc/DSCF9417-VSCO.jpg Work - Post Mortem https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e05938c7189a39adfdd3f8/e6de2b87-73e5-49df-873c-5e959d59798f/DSCF9597-VSCO.jpg Work - Post Mortem https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e05938c7189a39adfdd3f8/f6425c14-144b-445a-827c-3d238b4585cf/DSCF9562-VSCO.jpg Work - Post Mortem https://mariammenteshashvili.co.uk/work/project-one-ephnc-ha3yx monthly 0.5 2024-09-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e05938c7189a39adfdd3f8/259bfc47-804a-497f-a374-eb1948856219/1_6.jpg Work - Embodied Textiles Embodied Landscapes (2024) My work focuses on the study of connections. In this project, I decided to shift my perspective from researching the connections between human beings to exploring how humans and non-human beings relate to each other. It's a collaborative endeavour between myself, a photographer, and textile artist Linnéa Duckworth. Textiles became the medium that connected us. Textiles have the unique ability to transmit information and emotion, and they can inspire movement and influence how we perceive the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e05938c7189a39adfdd3f8/26028246-761e-4e22-9b35-4d60b5863536/DSCF2568.jpg Work - Embodied Textiles https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e05938c7189a39adfdd3f8/e85c3766-87df-4d79-b414-3b4be6b50f3d/1-10.jpg Work - Embodied Textiles https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e05938c7189a39adfdd3f8/3fe91bb8-b6e7-402b-ab2a-6dedcec721f6/5.jpg Work - Embodied Textiles https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e05938c7189a39adfdd3f8/56d45c3d-da1d-43cd-a11f-a4cd07cc0765/DSCF3047.jpg Work - Embodied Textiles https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e05938c7189a39adfdd3f8/38f40b03-500f-4370-9124-feef92760d31/DSCF2765-2.jpg Work - Embodied Textiles https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e05938c7189a39adfdd3f8/3deffca3-6044-449f-a1ae-c1ce9ccf8f23/DSCF2888.jpg Work - Embodied Textiles https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e05938c7189a39adfdd3f8/4114b476-db7f-4716-8b45-dbedd720292b/DSCF3033.jpg Work - Embodied Textiles https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e05938c7189a39adfdd3f8/2911998d-493c-4f06-9884-4fc7326753ae/DSCF2690.jpg Work - Embodied Textiles https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e05938c7189a39adfdd3f8/6277f86d-4020-405a-9563-5f676eed65b4/DSCF2819.jpg Work - Embodied Textiles https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e05938c7189a39adfdd3f8/803d5587-1c08-428b-bada-dd9c2e68c294/DSCF3034.jpg Work - Embodied Textiles https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e05938c7189a39adfdd3f8/9d0406b0-38f3-4df8-a410-53894735bd53/DSCF2848.jpg Work - Embodied Textiles https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e05938c7189a39adfdd3f8/0a2cb2bc-d433-48b2-bbff-0ac1b3bbbc98/DSCF2938.jpg Work - Embodied Textiles https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e05938c7189a39adfdd3f8/68f089d8-2ba5-4b98-ba6a-360ff341d2f6/DSCF2177.jpg Work - Embodied Textiles https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e05938c7189a39adfdd3f8/818151a7-39fb-4f1b-9385-18f63c461b38/1_17.jpg Work - Embodied Textiles
