I had no expectations about my time in Vilnius. I wasn’t sure what would come out of it or if I’d be able to produce anything. All I brought was a video camera. I knew about the cold and the snow. I found a building lost in the woods by a river that was frozen most of the time so you could actually go accross it by foot. The space acted like some sort of huge screen on the white landscape.

All around there were a lot of buildings in construction. Domestic spaces in the becoming waiting to be inhabited. Panels, windows, covers, ruins.

There were long hearful dicussions, dinnners, parties, walks, drinks at the kitchen table. All that making me wish I could see all oh them again soon. My stay went too quickly.
