For the Featured Night of Berlin Art Week, Kvost invites you to a special musical evening: Georgian artist, lighting designer, and music enthusiast Hitori Ni (alias Omar Gogichaishvili) will perform an exclusive DJ set—inspired by the current exhibition ›The Knight at the Crossroads‹ by Claus Michaletz Prize winner David Apakidze.

Hitori Ni’s music selection is as multi-layered as his artistic practice: ambient, noise, and atmospheric electronics merge with dub, techno, punk, and metal. Like a bipolar radio, his sound oscillates between meditative expansiveness and cathartic intensity.

As the lighting designer of the Bassiani club and art director of the queer HOroom Nights, Hitori Ni plays a key role in shaping the visual identity of Tbilisi’s club scene. His photographic work documents Georgia’s queer underground culture, and as curator of the biennial festival Wings of Desire, he creates spaces for community, visibility, and resistance.
