The exhibition tells the story of the future of humanity in a scenography created for Riga itself in a visually gorgeous environment of unknown plants and natural elements with references to Riga Art Nouveau architecture.
The story centers around a family of centaurs who inhabit a world characterized by both dramatic and strange natural processes that have radically changed the conditions of life and survival. It looks to the future, includes elements from the past. It illustrates the uncertain present day, where people navigate between biology and technology, ecological catastrophe and the love of the planet, hopelessness and hope.
The exhibition is organized by the Foundation of the Museum of Contemporary Art of Latvia, the producer and co-curator of the exhibition in Latvia is Elīna Vikmane, a member of the board of the foundation.
