Leina N. Untitled Collage, 1992–?

 

 

 

 

Leina N., born. c. 1942, Moscow, worked as a photographer and artist in Tiblisi, Georgia, c. 1985–1995. Little is know about her early life. In the late 1960s she was registered as living with a family in Tiblisi, Georgia (not her own), and is thought to have become involved in the Georgian Dissidential movement. It was during this time that she began to take photographs. She also made photo-collages influenced by Russian constructivists and German Dada artists. From 1978 worked as a technician at Tiblisi Republican Hospital developing X-ray film. After independence in 1991 began to work as a street photographer, often seen in Mziuru Park, Tiblisi. Since 1996 her whereabouts are unknown. 

The photo-collages exhibited here were discovered recently in a flea market in Tiblisi by a woman who had been photographed by Leina as a child. The curators wish to thank Anna Kuzanov for her research.
