Double Aliens
A road trip to the eastern borders of Europe: The Georgian photographer
Daro Sulakauri and Latvian film director Uģis Olte visit the Samtskhe- Javakheti region in the south of Georgia, with a mostly
Armenian population. Caught between borders and ethnicities, no one here has deep roots in this place. For everyone living
here, the notion of “homeland” will always be under debate. (Dominik Tschütscher)
