Pilot - Mano Svanidze

Pilot

One year ago a car hit me. Because of damage to my spine, I was forced to spend a lot of time in bed without being able to move. During this period, I saw a lot of TV series. I was watching episode after episode. Watching TV shows felt good - better than real life. It helped me to forget my situation and get used to my new reality. One day, I watched 22 episodes in 24 hours. That was the day I decided to make this project.

"Pilot" is about TV shows – their addictive nature and me, dealing with it. Here reality merges with the TV world and, as a result, we get something ugly, scary, and mystical. Like seeing 22 episodes in a day. Most of the photos are taken while watching famous TV shows. Others, while going through my archive, recapturing everything, imaging it as walking in the street.
