Sophio Medoidze (b. Tbilisi, Georgia) is an artist and filmmaker based in London.
Over the past two decades, her practice has developed an approach to uncertainty through close attention to material reality and the malleability of language and narrative structures, largely eschewing explanatory framing. Her experimental feature, Let Us Flow (2023), took shape through long-term collaborative engagement with nomadic Tushetian communities in Georgia. She is the author of Bastard Sun (DISTANZ / Kona, 2023), a bilingual monograph interweaving photography and experimental writing.
Her recent exhibitions and screenings have been held at LUX (London), Tate Modern (London), MoMA (online), Kunsthal Charlottenborg (Copenhagen), Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art (Newcastle), Royal Academy of Arts (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 LUX (London), Courtisane Festival (Ghent), Cafe OTO (London), and Biblioteka (London).
She is a Lecturer in Fine Art at Goldsmiths, University of London.
