Kristīne Krauze-Slucka - Forced Movements of the Past

It is a landscape of fragmented identity that seeks to regain integrity; these are the conditions that force to transform and become different. The installation will be complemented by a soundtrack by Kaspars Jaudzems, which integrates intercepted messages from Russian soldiers on the front line and call recordings with the families of the soldiers left at home. In parallel with the exhibition, a public program will take place, within the framework of which events will be implemented in cooperation with Ukrainian artists.
Kristīne Krauze-Slucka (1979) is a Latvian visual artist who, in her artistic practice, looks at and studies the relationship between man, technology and nature, often experimenting with digital and analogous photographic processes. Paying attention to the adaptation and hybridization processes, the artist brings to the fore the materiality aspects of the chosen medium, which is based on the content solution of the work creation process.
“Artifact Deconstructions” is part of the art exhibition program implemented by the cultural space Tu jau zini Kur. The leitmotif of the exhibition cycle focuses on the identification and study of existing social, political and physical structures, with the aim of critically evaluating their structure and significance.
