“When I shoot with film, I finish my work as soon as it gets dark. Digital photography makes it possible to see things beyond the grasp of traditional film. These photos are taken at dusk, and I realized I could capture something that long fascinated me – the darkness, the ambiguity, and the unsettling fear of obscured vision. In the dreamlike twilight, even a harmless animal like a sheep can morph into a chimera.”
Balancing on the verge of the barely visible, Tinatin Kiguradze's Twilight book evokes our childhood dreams of ominous creatures hiding in the dark. Deep in our hearts, we all believe that spirits do exist. We dread to look at what’s lurking in the shadows, yet we are unable to divert our gaze, yearning to catch a glimpse. For a fleeting moment, it seems to us we beheld something magical and enchanting, only for the vision to dissolve into the dusk.
