Laimdota Malle. I BIT INTO THE SKIN OF THE GLASS LAGOON

15.08.-26.10.2025.

The exhibition "I Bit into the Skin of the Glass Lagoon" explores the fragile boundary between body and landscape, where the “glass lagoon” emerges as a metaphor for a world that is beautiful, delicate and intimate, while the “bite into its skin” signifies a bodily closeness to the environment – simultaniously sensual and violent.

Artists Laimdota Malle (LV), Anastasija Šnepe-Šnepe (LV), and Rebeka Korn (UK) work across installation art and interdisciplinary research. Malle’s sculptural works traverse the porous line between inner and outer landscapes, balancing the organic and synthetic to reflect on posthuman ecologies. Šnepe and Korn's artistic practice examine the body as a vessel of generational memory, bringing together autoethnography, hydrofeminist theory, and material inquiry.
