Pobaltis
Poblatis - pieces of childhood memories on display in the atelier Dec. 3, 2015
The name of this piece ( which we eventually hope to develop into a larger project) is: "Pobaltis" (a name of a small village in Lithuania, where we have spend all our summers with our grandparents when we were children).
It has to do with memories about a "perfect place"... We try to focus on every detail and episode, we can remember. We havn't been to this place for 30 years and eventually want to go there again...
The material we have used for more then 100 drawings is called: watercolour on polyester film.
We refere to this project as "film". We believe that the way we present it reminds of slides, or a film sequences. Perhaps it will develop into a docuanimation...

"When we were young" - early childhood days
In the simmering sun
a playful hand
wipes the sand
off the hand
while the eyes watch, no follow
a snail crossing the path
as if a century away
it was a man carrying a house
on his back
so that in retrospect
lukewarm feelings for those days
come once again strong memories
of how the world looked like
back then.
