Zurich-based artist Andro Wekua created 15 sculptures, titled ‘Pink Wave Hunter’ based on memories of buildings in his destroyed home town of Sochumi, Georgia. The sculptures are mounted on a large pedestal and the theme of the installation aims to record his fleeting memories of a town that is now on the brink of architectural destruction. Wekua fled the town in the 1990’s after the Georgian-Abkhaz conflict and as there is little documentation of the city in its original form, Wekua has had to rely on personal photographs and a fading memory, giving the sculptures an intriguing level of abstraction.
