KALEIDOSCOPE

Bastejkalns trees, on Raiņa Boulevard side

Describing his concept, Rihards Šešo says “There are four things you can watch forever: fire, running water, other people working and kaleidoscopes”. A projection on to the building facades concealed in the Bastejkalns (Bastion Hill) park’s trees reveals ever-changing kaleidoscope patterns. Fire, water, dancing people, flowers, umbrellas, ribbons, fabrics, dresses, joy, happiness and positive feelings merge into a single video image with musical accompaniment. Projection duration 8 minutes.

Project concept / execution: Rihards Šešo (Latvia)

Project sponsors: Riga City Council, Rīga 2014 Foundation
