DUST RIGA. Catalog of fine particles of the city

Artūrs Čukurs (Latvia)
29.08., 30.08. 17:00, Riga Islande Hotel rooftop terrace on the 10th floor | Free with registration

DUST RIGA follows the daily trajectories of the smallest solid particles in the city, revealing the relationship between the city dweller and the air as a relentless process in which people, things, places and time are merged.

DUST RIGA is the ash, sand and salt, inhale and exhale, traffic jam and wind direction, soot, smoke and pollen of the city, the daily rhythm of life and the neighbourhood – cloud-like structures that rise and fall, connecting the visible city to its ever-changing counterpart in the air.

DUST RIGA is a fluctuation of tiny particles captured in the city’s elusive airscape, inviting the listener to be here and there, far away and close by – suddenly, simultaneously and in between.

To sign up for the performance, please buy a FREE ticket and reserve your slot.

ACCESSIBILITY
The performance will take place on the roof of “Riga Islande Hotel”. To get to the elevator, you have to climb a steep ramp inside. If you need help, please ask the volunteers on site. There are no further obstacles.
