Rare archive photographs from Tbilisi in 1998: Georgian artist Otar Chkhartishvili (1938 - 2006) and friends at the Dry Bridge art market — a small document of Georgia’s post-Soviet art world, full of improvisation, friendship and belief.

“Germania” (1995) is both a personal and social painting by Heiner Buhr about love, promise, consumerism and the hopes of reunited Germany in the 1990s.

A time traveler
the blocks of sticky seconds
dried up the road of rocks and hope
