ABOUT
Sophio Medoidze (b. Tbilisi, Georgia) is a London-based artist and filmmaker working across moving image, photography, performance, and writing.  Her work has been presented internationally at institutions including Tate Modern, Serpentine Galleries, Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art, CAC Centre d’art Contemporain, and the Fondation Vincent van Gogh Arles.  Emerging from her experience of displacement, Medoidze’s practice employs fragmentation as both method and form, exploring the poetic potential of uncertainty through sustained engagement with communities in the Caucasus and its diaspora. Her first experimental feature, Let Us Flow (2023), was developed through long-term collaboration with nomadic Tushetian communities in her native Georgia. Alongside her moving image practice, Medoidze works in experimental writing. She is the author of Bastard Sun (DISTANZ / Kona, 2023), a bilingual monograph interweaving photography and text to reflect on personal and political change.

Her recent exhibitions and screenings have been held at institutions including Tate Modern (London), MoMA (online), Kunsthal Charlottenborg (Copenhagen), Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art (Newcastle), Royal Academy of Arts (London), LUX (London), Serpentine Cinema Serpentine Galleries (London), Beursschouwburg (Brussels), the Fondation Vincent van Gogh (Arles), CAC Centre d'art Contemporain (Brétigny-sur-Orge), Foreman Art Gallery (Sherbrooke), LC Queisser (Tbilisi), Outpost Gallery (Norwich), and Le Cyclop (Milly-la-Forêt). She has participated in international Film Festivals, including the Short Film Festival Oberhausen (Oberhausen), European Media Art Festival (Osnabrück), BFMAF Berwick Film and Media Arts Festival (Berwick), Eastern Neighbours Film Festival (The Hague), Kasseler Dokfest (Kassel), Intersección (A Coruña), Tbilisi International Film Festival (Tbilisi). Recent performances have been presented at Courtisane Festival (Ghent), Cafe OTO (London), Biblioteka (London).
