We explored Vilijampole, known as a dodgy district of Kaunas. My group was very reluctant do go there because as they have stated "nothing interesting is there". We have been exploring the district during 2 cold afternoons, gathering materials through talking to people, taking pictures, collecting objects and exploring group own views and fears about the area. Our pre-arranged visits were: a convent and a seminar.
The final work consisted of: a PhotoRain - a photo installation; a short film ‘Vilijampole Witch Project’ - exploring group’s own fears about the area; "Sister Klara from Viliampole" - a slideshow linking visit to Vilijampole with sister Clara met in the convent who is originally from there; an installation created using found objects and a wall of suggestions and possible futures for Viliampole. The group have not had previous experience in creating this sort of work.
