Esophagus Foreign Bodies and Trachea Foreign Bodies (both 2014) comprise personal displays belonging to Gvetadze’s late father Dr. Paata Gvetadze, of objects accidentally swallowed, that he removed from people's throats during his career as a doctor. Removed during emergency procedures, we might consider each item as representing a life saved. Forming a sort of museum of soviet-era ephemera, these collections talk of the journey of ‘foreign’ indigestible objects into the human body and back out again.
