Boundless space

Bakuriani is located on the northern slope of the Trialeti Range, at an elevation of 1,700 meters above sea level. It lies withing so called Bakuriani Depression/caldera, and was built up by the lava flows from the Mukheri volcano. Bakuriani has long daylight - 2052 hours in a year. The climate of Bakuriani is transitional from humid maritime to relatively humid continental. Because of coniferous forests and foggy weathers Bakuriani is well-known for curing many diseases such as lymphatics, chronical non-tuberculiosis diseases of respiratory system and anemia. Majority of Georgian pediatrics recommend parents to take children to Bakuriani for prevention of these diseases. Bakuriani is one of the first ski resort of Caucasus Mountains. First ski base was opened in 1932 on the top of Mount Kokhta. Since that the resort continues to develop with recreation zones and ski bases. At present, it is one of the most touristic winter resorts of Georgia and Transcaucasia. In 2005 Bakuriani was competing for the candidate city for 2014 winter Olympic Games. Resort is for all types and social groups but children remain priority. There are lot of Mountain-skiing sport schools. Most of Georgian families try to spend winter holidays in Bakuriani. Regardless the number of visitors, none of the recreational and main strategic spaces like 25 meters rope-way, central park, main walking avenues, ring named after Koba Tsakadze and Liberty Square are well-built without modern standards. This spaces still have the remains of "invincible" Soviet culture. They look like old, rusty, fallen solidity. This mix of Caucasian and post-soviet cultures and special climate gives unique feature to the environment, public spaces, personnel and guests. All the borders and lines disappear in this white foggy and snowy environment. Functions are lost. Everything and everyone is mixed in one flat, unmeasurable "boundless space". In the photo project "Boundless Space" I try to reflect the moods and memories of the lodgers of the spaces, so common and precious for Georgian spectators.
