AMALGAMATION

Akmeņu Street next to Jelgavas Street

The urban environment light installation encourages to reflect on the fusion of the urban environment with nature, the harmonious presence of nature in the city.

Cities have always attracted people in terms of more accessible products of technical evolution, network of social contacts at the same time setting its own limits.

The light installation also encourages the viewer to contemplate on the presence of nature in the city, on the limits of the fusion of nature and the city, on the relationship of residents with nature, on the traces and imprints that the city leaves in nature.

The installation includes an illuminated flow of water, creating a realistic waterfall. The water flows down wooden stairs built into the scaffolding. In the sound file complementing the light score, the sounds of flowing water seamlessly alternate with the urban noises of the city.

 

*Amalgamation – consolidation, unification, fusion
