For Gallery Weekend Berlin 2026, the Berlin-based photographer Diana Pfammatter expands her series Artist Studio / Install, turning her focus to selected artists from this year’s program.

Ketuta Alexi-Meskhishvili (*1979, Tbilisi) does not use photography to capture a moment; rather, she employs the medium to question this very notion, understanding photography as an open process of developing and becoming visible. In her Berlin studio, she experiments with analogue techniques and digital processing, creating images of luminous, almost radiant surfaces and intense colour, whose particular light simultaneously reveals and obscures her subjects. Regardless of how they are presented, the works unfold an unmistakable visual presence rooted in a precise engagement with the fundamental properties of the medium.

For Georgia, her second exhibition at Galerie Molitor opening on the occasion of Gallery Weekend Berlin 2026, Alexi-Meskhishvili takes the delayed discovery of a close relative via an ancestry and genealogy DNA test as a starting point. Questions of doubles and doppelgangers, as well as thresholds of the unknown, imbue the show, as Alexi-Meskhishvili also plays with shifts in perspective by exhibiting a pair of aluminum dye-sublimation prints in horizontal, table-like frames. Her innovative and idiosyncratic melding of digital and analogue techniques sees Instagram screenshots digitally altered and printed on transparent rice paper, collaged and placed onto blank large format negatives, which Alexi-Meskhishvili illuminates with colorful finger lights. In the resulting analogue C-prints and digital dye sublimation photographs, a recurrent female form seems to surface and recede into an an abstracted emulsion of reds and yellows.
