Meanwhile Vienlaikus (LV)
Site-specific installation in collaboration with artist Elīna Valdmane
Recycled wood panels and slatts, wood beam structure, wooden columns, speakers and two mp3 players, 2022
Pop-up culture space “Točka”, Riga, Latvia
The site-specific installation is a conversation between two, the moment when the routine is changed, it becomes unclear where to look for the right place in this time and space.

- Where now then?
- Maybe here? I don't know.
- But what do you think, can we stay here? I think this would suit us. The question is, would it be good for others?
- Well, yeah. Amm, which direction you are looking at?
- Look at me. Well... Like this.
- Wouldn't it bother others? You know what, I'm probably blocking the view.
- I don't know, I like this position.
- Well, ok. Look at me now. Can I stay here or should I move a bit to the right?
- Where they will enter from?
- I guess entry and exit are right there. They'll go there and back.
- Then a little bit to the right.
- Does the height even let you do that?
- Here it's fine. It's gonna be a bit tight there. I can come ten centimetres closer to you.
- But you will be looking in my direction, yes?
- Yes.
Okay, then stay there. It's going to be okay.

Nerimstošās sarunas site-specific instalācija tiecas radīt apstākļus, kuros divi sarunājas, meklē iespēju saprast viens otru, lai noskaidrotu vai vispār ir iespējams atras īsto vietu tieši šajā telpā un laikā.
- Kur tagad?
- Varbūt varētu te? Es nezinu.
- Bet kā Tev liekas, te nevar? Man jau liekas, ka šeit tieši atbilstošāk. Jautājums, kā citiem būs.
- Nē, nu var, jā. A, uz kuru pusi tu skaties tagad?
- Skaties uz mani. Nū.. kaut kā tā.
- Tas netraucēs? Zin kā, nevajag jau arī lai priekšā kādam.
- Es nezinu, man patīk šī pozīcija
- Nu, ok. Tagad paskaties. Es varu palikt te? Vai nedaudz pa labi vēl?
- Pa kurieni viņi nāks?
- Kā es saprotu izeja un ieeja ir tur. Un tad uz turieni un atpakaļ.
- Tad gan nedaudz pa labi. A Tev augstums vispār atļauj?
- Šeit, jā. Tur būs baigi iespiesti. Es varu kādus desmit centimetrus tuvāk tev.
- Bet tu skatīsies uz mani, ja?
- Jā.
- Labi, tad paliec tur. Gan jau būs labi.
