‘Artistic work has a great power to open up complex subjects and make them approachable. It allows us to put down our shields and let the world affect and transform us,’ states Irakli Sabekia. The Georgian designer and researcher has gathered growing recognition for his projects that cross art, design, and philosophy, while using experiences as a vehicle to spark powerful conversations.
Sabekia takes on weighty themes including frictions between humans and systems, and social and spatial justice. ‘I think of my projects as artistic interruptions in the functioning of systems, aiming to create possibilities for reflection and re-evaluation of the existing structures,’ he says.
A graduate of Design Academy Eindhoven, Sabekia began his career as a graphic designer in Tbilisi, Georgia before moving to Amsterdam to work independently. ‘This step came naturally as it was the most straightforward path to developing my own way of working and exploring ideas,’ he explains. ‘My research and outcomes are my tools to attack reality and imagine worlds. Connecting with people through ideas and suggestions is at the core of my practice.
