Liene Mackus

Jump into the cold water

Objects, animation, 2012


To strip naked and step into a meadow.

An one hour drive outside Riga it is already possible to experience solitude, the power of nature and spatial depth. It is a dream of a balanced and organised life – paradise now.


Downshifting? It is important to recognize the right moment to fill up the tank.
