The opening of a photo exhibition „Theme 011” by photographer Gvido Kajons shall take place at Riga Motor Museum on Monday, October 24th. The exhibition will showcase black and white photography from the 1980s. These pictures are satirical characterization of the socialist environment in soviet time Latvia.
Theme 011 is both a reference to group of photography enthusiasts in the 1980’s formed up by exactly 11 people and a story about a city. Streets, houses, allies, so familiar, yet different each and every day. People in the everyday city and the trail they leave behind. Socialism symbols, ideological writings on demonstration posters and on dusty window panes.
Theme 011 is a testimony by a subjective documentalist on time, which is fixed in image, whilst taking a look at the mundane and spotting what passes unnoticed by others with a kind smile and a tinge of irony. Pictures are documents and art at the same tame.
Photo exhibition open for visitors starting from the 24th of October till the 24th of January, 2017. Exhibition on display at Riga Motor Museum’s exhibition hall on the 1st floor. More information regarding museum entrance and working hours can be found on www.motormuzejs.lv
