2015 – 2016<\/p>\n
Using the geographically longest coastal village in the country as a metaphor, \u201cHomeland\u201d is a constructed and multi-layered story of the birthplace of a human being, memories and the journey of a life. This is the story of a land and human connection with it; information preserved by the land over the years reveals the past, present and future, and is a reflection on how time affects and changes our sense of a place. The story also encourages a critical look at contemporary issues \u2013 the visual narrative of life outside the city acts as a signal for dialogue on modernity and the political and economic processes affecting the emigration of the younger generations. In terms of geography, the project also serves as documentary evidence of the longest village in the country \u2013 Kaltene \u2013 through photography, recorded memories and interviews in two languages (Latvian and English) reflecting national identity, history and memory, as well as people\u2019s relationship with their environment and their emotional connection to the sea, forest and stones. The story is not just about a specific homeland \u2013 Kaltene, where the author was born, but also about our nation as a whole \u2013 its values, rituals and traditions.<\/p>\n
