The 16-story building where I have been living for the second year is not just a house, but also a stage for the life of a surprisingly cohesive community. The building is in a state of disrepair and is located near the penultimate metro station, practically at the edge of the world. Next to an abandoned cable car. There, like a pepelats on an eternal pier, hangs a non-working cable car cabin.
The work is made of dough that contains only flour and salt. Baking in Georgia is traditionally a ritual food. Flatbreads made of flour and water, but without salt, were ritual food for travelers going on a journey. The dough, in which salt is the second main component, reverses this ritual and turns this bread into stone, which became the material for this house.
Dough made from flour and salt is also a traditional material for children's crafts. This gives a more personal perspective to understanding the work, which refers to family leisure.
