Surprise, 2000, KUNSTPANORAMA LUCERNE

1/3
Installation 1: Wonderland Installation: A scenery wall (400 x 240 cm) with the photograph of a playing field in the middle of the (Lithuanian) forest. A 150 cm high door leads through the middle of the playing field / wall. It leads into a room, similar to a living room. Flower drawings on the back of the scenery wall remind of an ancient wallpaper. Table, chair and TV as well as the American TV series „Baywatch“ (it was shown on Lithuanian TV at the end of the nineties) are references to a private living room and thus to familiarity. Videoloop: An episode of the American series „Baywatch“. Audio: Above the barely hearable original voices, a single narrator translates all dialogues into Lithuanian.

Installation 2: Home is where your heart is. Installation: Television on roll rack Videoloop: A house is on fire in a meadow. The flames change direction in the wind. Sometimes the scenery is brightly illuminated and two human figures leaning against each other become visible in the foreground. The aggressiveness of the fire is the central aspect of the work. The scenery is only recognizable in outlines. Audio: a Russian pop song.
