Renowned Azerbaijani photographer Agdes Baghirzade unveils The Other Side of Me in Tbilisi, deepening cultural ties with Georgia through a poetic lens on everyday life.
A personal exhibition by renowned Azerbaijani photographer Agdes Baghirzade has opened in Tbilisi, reinforcing the growing cultural dialogue between Georgia and Azerbaijan.
Agdes Baghirzade's photography is widely recognized for its philosophical depth, and this latest series offers a rare glimpse into her inner universe. From abstract patterns in nature to echoes of Sufi mysticism, the “The other side of me” exhibition captures fleeting moments that often go unnoticed — urban shadows, architectural textures, and dreamlike reflections that speak to a timeless world beyond the self.
“This project is a subjective illustration of the world as I see it,” the artist explains. “I find great inspiration in the randomness of daily life — the coexistence of natural and man-made elements that shape our existence.”
The exhibition highlights the artist’s international career, including showings in Venice, Paris, Budapest, and Baku, and reinforces the growing cultural dialogue between Georgia and Azerbaijan.
Having previously exhibited in Tbilisi’s Mziuri Art Salon, Baghirzade returns to Georgia with a renewed artistic vision. The event stands as another important step in the creative exchange between the two neighbouring countries, underscoring how shared heritage and mutual respect can foster deeper connections through the arts.
The exhibition opened on May 21, welcoming art lovers, diplomats, and cultural figures alike. My Other Side will be on display until May 30.
