The main idea behind this animated projection is to encourage people to pay attention to the present moment and enjoy it before it passes. The projection shows people absorbed in their phone screens, unaware of what is happening around them and unable to fully enjoy the moment. The only one living in the present is a little dog. It symbolizes the ability to enjoy life as it is, without worrying about anything else.
This is a light artwork in the student programme of the Latvian College of Culture of the Latvian Academy of Culture. The exhibition of light artworks created by students of the Latvian College of Culture of the Latvian Academy of Culture has been developed in collaboration with 47 students from nine universities in the ACE2EU European University Alliance representing Austria, Germany, Romania, Poland, Lithuania, Spain, Portugal, North Macedonia and Latvia. During creative workshops in early September the students developed ideas for light artworks. The exhibition is located within the Ave Sol route of light and creates a connection with the Viesturdārzs route of light.
