Boundless Cities

2016–present
A project by Temuri Hvingia

“Boundless Cities” is an ongoing interdisciplinary art project by Temuri Hvingia that explores the urban environment as a dynamic, multilayered system, and examines the boundaries — both visible and conceptual — that emerge through modern architecture. The project focuses on geometric patterns and spatial structures in contemporary cityscapes, seeking connections that reflect the evolving relationship between people, space, and identity. In this context, boundaries are not only physical demarcations — they are psychological, cultural, and social constructs that shape how we move, relate, and define ourselves. Cities, by their nature, stretch and expand, yet simultaneously cultivate division, control, and exclusion.
The Covid-19 pandemic of 2020 illustrated the paradox: cities, long symbols of openness, movement, and growth, abruptly became sites of restriction and isolation. New, invisible “meta-boundaries” emerged — social distancing, digital disconnection, and spatial withdrawal — profoundly altering our urban experience.

Temuri Hvingia’s work aims to both expose and transcend these boundaries. His large-format photographs abstract and reframe architectural forms, while augmented reality (AR) layers and exclusive audio NFTs open up new dimensions of perception and engagement, offering viewers a multisensory journey through space.

The project’s technological dimension is realized in collaboration with inventor, digital artist, and the inventor and CEO of Musical Blockchain  Gleb Divov (LT), whose integration of AR and AI brings depth and interactivity to the experience. These digital elements are not mere enhancements — they are conceptual extensions of the works themselves, challenging how we perceive and inhabit space.
“Boundless Cities” invites the viewer to consider which boundaries are imposed, which are self-created, and which might be dissolved. It is an artistic reflection on how we shape — and are shaped by — the cities we inhabit.
