Meggy Rustamova’s roots lie in Georgia, but she has lived in Belgium since the mid-1990s, when she was in her early teens. In the last few years she has made an impression with videos, performances and photographic works that take both language and image as their subject. Rustamova’s work lies on the boundary between fiction and reality and in most cases starts out from a personal or historical story. Its characteristic features are subtle humour, a gently melancholy undertone and sometimes an absurd exuberance.
