Latvian Pavilion, Venice Biennale 2019
In 2019, the artist Daiga Grantina represented Latvia at the 58th Venice Biennale with a site-specific installation titled Saules Suns. In her practice, Daiga Grantina uses a wide range of everyday materials, from the synthetic to the organic, often inverting and trespassing beyond the limits of their traditional uses to create associative formations that both conceal and reveal, directing the viewer’s gaze in manifold ways.
The sources of inspiration for this new installation were light and simultaneity. Saules Suns is a multi-centered landscape that unfolds around several suns, several sources of light traversing manifold materials and shapes.
For this occasion, Toan Vu-Huu designed the Pavilion booklet, signage and website using BVH Anto Rounded, BVH Anto Plot and BVH Anto Plot Lab.
