Architecture students' 4-day workshop and a pop-up exhibition in Kintai as part of the SIKON35 Akivarai: Aukštumala event. The installations portrayed the process of exploring the nearby Aukštumala swamp. Pieces of micro-life drawings, experimental poetry, swamp mapping and recorded soundscapes were placed in an abandoned boiler house. The building being forgotten for multiple years has itself become swamp-like - the trees started growing there and layers of dust and particles covered the ground. Holes here and there opening through the floor remind swamp lakes.
