David Meskhi

Born 1979 in Tbilisi, Georgia
Lives and works in Berlin, Germany

David Meskhi focuses on movement in his artistic practice as a photographer. Coming from a dynasty of successful youth sport coaches, he grew up surrounded by sports events and competitions. In his last series he captured mostly athletes during their training, creating aesthetic compositions of men seemingly floating in air in a moment of weightlessness. His imagery is poetic, raises connotations of sexuality, belief and expresses a common urge of the youth to free itself from social boundaries.
