Eden arts installation in Spīķeri, Riga was a specially made installation for Contemporary Art
Museum "KIM?" for the Riga Museum nights event. Collaboration with scenographer Rudolf
Bekich,artist Kaspars Groševs and light artist Krišjānis Strazdītis.
Photographs of the installation by Ansis Starks.
The installation is about the road leading to the forest/garden of Eden.
The object was located in the centre of Riga in old collapsed building block, which is going to be reconstructed in a couple of years for Latvian Museum of Contemporary Art.
During many years inside these remains of the building have grown trees, which actually looks like a forest in the house!
So our idea was to build the object that imitates man's way back to garden of Eden.The inspiration came from uncountable low-cost hotels of big cities, their features, uncomfortableness, tasteless or tasteful arrangement of rooms.
At the beginning a visitor gets the keys from the hotel owner and walks into the installation through five rooms, which are like small corridors. In perspective they are getting smaller.
Each room has its own feature and there is a special light and sound installed in them, the noises, sounds and the voice of opera singer was specially recorded for this project.
While moving forward the rooms are getting smaller and smaller until there is the final room with a small door, which is locked with uncountable keys and it's impossible to unlock it. Some people get confused when they can't find their way out. All doors closed automatically and they can be opened only from the other side. The exit is hidden some were else - a small secret door in the wall. While looking for the exit a person notices a hole in the ceiling and when one sticks his head out of it, he can look into the forest of Eden, which is lighted up and fitted with the sound.
The object is built very carefully not to touch the nature and to protect visitors from the collapsing building, where the forest has grown and it gives people the opportunity to get into the middle of the forest by walking through small rooms of the hotel.
