Was exciting to have a chance working with one of my favorite artists
@ligaspunde on a collaboratove exhibition “LAST HARVEST”. The sound design was done by my dear friend
@brauer.sound that surely helped the creepy atmosphere of the space.

The installation "Last Harvest" visually foreshadows the forthcoming winter. Its grotesque characters are inspired by the architecture of the exhibition space and the harvest seasons' sculpted vegetable men, which over time have become a well known image of fall and an example of an inventive imagination. The creatures placed on the patch of land set the scene of the space, becoming a self-contained visual performance that extends beyond the boundaries of the stage. Their appearance is inspired by early stage decorations and theater scenography. The monstrous nature of the figures and the soundtrack created by Ivars Burtnieks conjure up an apocalyptic garden landscape, which, in an unobtrusive but visually unmistakable way, becomes the authors' commentary on the global energy and food crisis.
The exhibition "Last Harvest" is a collaborative project between Liga Spunde and Aleksandrs Breze.
