Photo reportage from the exhibition 'all the possibilities that existed' by Krista Dzudzilo at Kogo Gallery

Kogo Gallery based in Tartu, Estonia and Kim? Contemporary Art Centre in Riga collaborate this year to exchange exhibitions. Currently, there is a solo exhibition by Latvian visual artist Krista Dzudzilo at Kogo Gallery – the artist’s first solo show in Estonia, and later in the year, there will be Kogo’s exhibition at Kim?. Krista Dzudzilo’s contemplative exhibition all the possibilities that existed consists of works in a variety of media that invite to seek how to turn observation into awareness. The exhibition remains open until 4 May.

The exhibition encompasses a series of new charcoal drawings that locate halfway between sculpture and painting and a series of small pencil drawings, a video work that tackles the notion of rushing forward while staying in the same place and a sonic installation, a quintet of out-of-sync metronoms. 19 attempts at tilting stability. The exhibition strives to show how to turn observation into awareness and asks: What does it mean to tilt sideways and find another axis – does that yield a new stability? How can you find movement in what is static? How can you change your perspective so that it comprises a new known and the known in what is new?
