33 THE PIT

St. Peter’s Church Square (on the corner of Skārņu Street)

The light installation “The Pit” reflects on the human disaster currently experienced in Europe – thousands of people are risking their lives to cross the sea and get to European countries. The installation is a poetic three-dimensional light pattern that represents a quiet, kneeling child. Who is this child? Where did he come from? Is he desolate, missing or captured? Everyone has the opportunity to look for their own answer. The object was previously exhibited in the Vilnius Light Festival.

Authors and implementers of the object: Viel Bjerkeset Anderosn (Norway)
