DRAWING BY DETECTIVE

Like in police investigations, witnesses described and artists drew – not real people, but characters seen in dreams or nightmares. All drawings were made precisely as the witnesses directed.

Emergences.
Concreate, found objects.

Unfinished or destroyed buildings made a big stunning first impression to both of us when we arrived in Latvia. We liked the esthetic of ruins and the kind of mystery which emerges from them. These architectural remains are like the dreams of bygones times. We found a big area where buildings had been destroyed; and, like two archaeologists, we started working in the field and we began to excavate, hoping to find a forgotten beauty. We selected the best pieces and then we created 6 supports made of concrete, from the material we have found in the field. These supports don’t have to be seen as pedestals but instead as a part of the finished sculpture itself. The art piece is formed by combining the support and the material found amongst the remains

„Mistification ”Ocean Hill 3””

Installation in 3 parts (5x150x100m, wood, plastic screen, paint), 3 view points (0,5×0,5×0,5m, playwood, organic glass, paint).

Artists give you opportunity to see vision how world’s mighty cruise ship has come in port of Roja – fake “Ocean Hill”, double-ganger of the biggest entertainment ship nowdays.

The famous dock was built in 2000-something year to receive tourists from neighbouring countries. Regrettably the only one tourist ship came to port and plans were cancelled.

Authors of artwork invites do not to forget this great idea and to dream boldly how it would look like with  help of grand mural.

Spectators are invited to follow graphic instructions and look into 3 viewing points and to see perspectivly perfect illusion of grand ship “Ocean Hill 3” – all parts of mural will make body of ship in correct scale according to Roja port.

Suspension.
Stoneware. Soda firing. Metal ropes.

When I came to Roja it seemed for me to be a place suspended in between two epochs. The time when Banga kolchoz made Roja the place of fast prosperity and unique region in Latvia (also because it was a closed area, unreachable for people without permission), and nowadays where modern is juxtaposed with old post-fabric buildings that makes one think about illusory nature of hopes and dreams we have at any given time.

As my practice is about a trace of presence and a reference to memory and perception, in a desire to preserve the moment, I wanted to make a suspended ephemeris forms that alludes to silence and balanced gentleness of the place.

RE – flections.
Floating lights.
To keep something unkepable…

Salmon.
Stoneware. Soda firing.

When I think of Roja there immediately comes imagery of water and of fish. The idea of the work came from Roja’s heraldry. There are two salmons on the flag of Roja: one is silver and another is gold. The water source where the work was installed represents pure and clear water, and salmon needs spring water as well. Thus I have decided to make two salmons in the water source. Water flows through their mouths and in the Roja river one can spot approaching gigantic salmon fins.
