"Currently based in Paris but hailing from Ukraine, Loriashvili released a Zine in 2022 entitled My Last Voyage in This Fucking World, a collection of photographs and recollections taken before the Russian invasion, with proceeds going to support those in Ukraine. Having taken a trip back to Ukraine, Loriashvili is working on the follow up part of their project now, collating the experience of conflict from the lives of everyday civilians; companions, strangers, artists. " James Taylor"The ensemble is hedonistic, spontaneous, undaunted — but underpinned by affection. Despite this wild spirit, the photographs have a built-in melancholy, highlighting the irreparable rift between then and now. The images of friends in a cemetery – with dark smoke from the crematorium engulfing the horizon behind them – are a queasy viewing in today’s devastating wartime context. -- Sarah Moroz
