Andro Eradze and Julia Marchand worked closely for several years, in the context of screenings at both Fondation Vincent van Gogh Arles and Poush as well as for Eradze’ latest film “Flowering and Fading” which was premiered at Schermo dell arte in 2024.

On the occasion of the presentation of his works at Poggi Gallery, Julia Marchand introduced the keys elements behind Eradze’s films, including “All Hands bury the Dead” (2020), “Raised in the Dust”(2022) and “Nightvision, Limited Access” (2021). In those films, notions of animalism (through language, and more specially the Georgian language) as well as the notion of “dog post-cyborg” were recounted to shed light on the figure of the “stray dog” as self-portrait of the artist and cyborg mediator. Associations were made with figurative painters, such as Gilles Aillaud whose works seem to depict animals, creating a ground for more complexe representations of nature, cultures and alienated gaze.
