RK GALLERY POP UPS - THE AUGMENTED REALITY BOX – an illusionary space soaring in the clouds and serenaded by heavenly chorus. Each performer chants lines from a Georgian poem which float up into the ceiling. These mantras broadcast code into the sky to convene with God. In this new technological era which in some ways enables ever more rapid communication with other worlds and ultimately God. Audio gallery is a digital forum which serves as a direct metaphor for young people - “megobroba” “mijnuroba” “tavdadeba” - “love, friendship, courage” are the main themes of the poem. Through this digital format, Ria creates the illusionary space of young individuals who never lose the essence of hope. (pray for equality, pray for friendship, pray for courage). In collaboration with Tbilisi State academy of art, selected students have designed the garments of the very same ceiling, existing in an indeterminate phase between sky and cloud, these ethereal garments use Julian Roberts’ substraction cutting technique. Garments fade through space like water vapour itself creating a realm of spiritual calm. The performance acts as the spiritual pivot of the experience- like Valhalla, a space of spiritual cleansing. The Installation uses the GEORGIAN POEM SHOTA RUSTAVELI "VEBHISTKAOSANI" (The Knight in the Panther's Skin), performers cast mantras into the sky, praying for love, friendship and courage.
