In his solo exhibition at Pori Art Museum, Chackhiani confronts the poem The Orphans’ New Year’s Gift by Arthur Rimbaud by trying to translate it into visual and sculptural terms. The sense of hope and disillusionment that inhabit Rimbaud’s text are given back by Chackhiani in the form of a show that interrogates our deepest fears, desires and emotions, opening up a space of enchantment.
