About
Sometimes a person gets so lost in the knots of his ideals, values, and beliefs, that it becomes difficult to answer the important questions - it is not clear what is the right and true answer at the same time when so many circumstances and concepts have to be taken into account. Such confusion can almost paralyze a person's feelings and thinking, they want to alienate themselves, not to touch any serious questions. But there are ways to regain mobility without running away altogether. In the work "Idejas kā sunītim" light absurdity and a change of perspective are used to recover the softness, resulting from the situation created by the artist in the exhibition space. It is meant to be taken as seriously as one needs to; sometimes you just want to experience something out of the ordinary, and that's enough.
