Kris Lemsalu's imaginary is populated by hybrid creatures, improbable settings, and exuberant ceremonies. For some time now, the artist has been producing a series of ceramic works that challenge conventions in terms of their representations and motifs, but also in their use of traditional techniques for modeling and glazing. In her contribution to Side Path, Lemsalu brought these elements together in a sort of ritual set around an artificial pond. The unstable and reflective element of water provided the setting for a musical fable in which the artist, accompanied by musician Roman Lemberg, evoked a state of alignment between the eerie and the seductive.
