During an artist residency in Georgia, I met people who work as Peregonshiks (literally, over-racers): they buy a used car or truck in Germany, drive it to Georgia and resell it. Almost eighty percent of the traffic in Tbilisi consists of these used German vehicles. Lettering from the original owners are not removed: they stand for “quality made in Germany.” This work migration, driving cars overland to Georgia for sale, has existed for decades, but political instabilities have caused frequent changes in the transport routes and working conditions, as I learned from the drivers I talked to. I brought together their experiences in the story of a fictional Peregonshik named Georgi.
