The Multimedia Art Museum, Moscow presents an exhibition by Koka Ramishvili (*1956), a contemporary Swiss-Georgian artist who has participated in the 53rd Venice Biennale and numerous exhibitions at major museums worldwide, including the Tate Modern, the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MAMCO) in Geneva, and the CoBrA Museum in Amsterdam.

The exhibition is named after the «Light Machines» series of photographs in which Ramishvili explores the key themes of his work — movement, the conjugation of time and space, and the perception of light. While devising the subject compositions for his shots the artist followed the principles of the classical genre of still life, carefully working out plastic volumes with lighting. Although he was not interested in frozen «dead nature», but rather in the processes that occur with objects — the «invasion of time», the metamorphosis of figures, light and shadow.
