In July- August 2024, we fixed the power cables and built a network of 3-phaselighting tracks.

Conflations

CONFLATIONS
Simone Fezer,/ Kati Kerstna / Kai Koppel
Open   March 8-31, 2024

A Conflation is defined as the process of uniting or blending separate objects, texts or ideas.

The world is made up of various opinions, viewpoints, cultures, races, religions, all mixing with each other, and it can sometimes look like there’s not enough space for them all. In tight situations, we perceive that our own point of view might not be the only valid one. To keep existing, one has a choice to encapsulate in one’s own bubble, or to react with violence, or, perhaps, to accept diversity.

Differences can enrich and enliven our world. An attempt at understanding can leave us perplexed, curious, or pleasantly surprised. It is a freeing sensation when we realize that the world is not a monoculture.

In this exhibition, we display the differing layers, analyze their past and future, interactions and fusions.

Part of the programme of the 6th Women’s Nights Film Festival in Rapla.
Opening March 7th at 19.00, with a performance by Simone Fezer.

Metempsychosis

Metempsychosis
Interactive installation
Mar 11, 2023 at 12.00

Metempsychosis takes the viewer into a world of visual expression, viewing health as the original state of matter, but also as an abstract form. Social change confronts culture with the norm. Metempsychosis ends when the change is complete.

Six (Sigrit Lõhmus, b. 1990) is an artist working with light and sound and reflecting on cultural / social contexts, She  prefers to use recycled materials and finds impermanence of the artwork a positive factor and a challenge to the documenter.  Playing with linguistic humour, she leaves the ends untied, free for the viewer to interpret.
