Dust also refers to something being worn out and forgotten, marking the inevitability of reality and the constant changing of the world around us.
With their installations, the artists always reconsider the material reality and search for the meanings of the relationship between man and the environment. Julia Pociūtė shows the contradiction of dust by creating enchanting capsules where she stores stories and objects. Tiina Sarapu reflects on the path and work of a person: where does a journey that has come from primeval nature, passed through cultivated meadows, and probably passes by solar parks takes us?
