Elene Glonti is a Georgian multimedia artist and photographer based in Tbilisi. Her work navigates the emotional topography of loneliness, absence, and post-Soviet disorientation, tracing fragile threads of memory, loss, and resilience in places marked by conflict, displacement, or quiet decay.
A graduate of Sarah Lawrence College (NYC), Elene works across photography, video, and documentary film. Her series No More Bazaar documents the slow disappearance of traditional marketplaces in Georgia’s regions, while The Fading Gaze offers an intimate portrait of old age and social isolation.
Elene’s images are rooted in empathy and close observation, often portraying those who exist on the periphery — spatially, historically, or emotionally. She works between Georgia and abroad, using photography as a language to engage with the world’s overlooked margins.
She is the founder of Caucasian Art Circle, a non-formal art space in Tbilisi dedicated to collective learning and creation. Her work has been exhibited in Gori, Tbilisi, and internationally.
