Davit Botchorishvili (BOTCH) is a visual artist whose work constructs perceptual environments where attention becomes an active force. Across photography, painting, sculpture, and exhibition-curating, he investigates how sustained looking reorganizes experience—shifting the boundaries between self, memory, and space.

Born in the Republic of Georgia during the collapse of the Soviet Union, Davit’s early life was shaped by political upheaval, displacement, and the reconfiguration of social systems. These formative conditions instilled a sharpened awareness of instability, endurance, and transformation—forces that continue to structure his practice. His trajectory across continents, from Eastern Europe to the United States, informs a worldview grounded in movement, inquiry, and reconstruction.

Davit’s work does not present images as fixed meanings but as thresholds—sites where perception is tested, delayed, and reassembled. Through repetition, circular structures, blur, and material density, he builds situations that demand duration and reward attention. Viewers are not positioned as observers, but as participants within unfolding perceptual fields.

Extending this inquiry beyond the singular artwork, his curatorial practice operates as a spatial and relational medium. Through exhibitions, he composes constellations of works that activate dialogue between artists, materials, and viewers—treating the exhibition itself as a perceptual threshold. Davit's curatorial projects emphasize emergent experience, where meaning is not delivered but unfolds through attention, proximity, and encounter.
