The Home Office Interview Rooms
A photographic series developed during Medoidze’s time in the UK as an asylum seeker, The Home Office Interview Rooms presents a haunting study of institutional spaces. The images depict interwoven interiors of government interview rooms, rendered with a charged, almost theatrical stillness. Evoking a sense of quiet menace, the series captures the psychological weight these bureaucratic environments carry. In a subversive reversal of Thomas Demand’s meticulously fabricated scenes, Medoidze blurs the boundaries between truth and fabrication—inviting viewers to question what is real, what is constructed, and what lies in between.
Transformations (After Circe)
The project, titled Transformations (after Circe), draws on the myth of Circe — particularly her capacity for transformation, intuition, and skill — as a lens to reflect on navigating unfamiliar environments and power structures. The work engages with the lineage of feminist photography (Woodman, Mendieta), exploring ideas of belonging, metamorphosis, and adapting to new contexts — especially within the layered history of Rome, and the BSR.
