Dawn… mostly red

2023 | performative presentation

“In his performance “Dawn… mostly red” Lauri Lest utilises the search engines of public databases and creates an associative movement between them. The performance deals with the history of the current building of the Estonia Academy of Arts and walking us through the propaganda materials from deep Soviet era to the Estonian pop music of the 2000nds.” – Marika Agu, KKEK

Performed at the “Ceremonial handover of the video archive of KKEK” at the Film Archive of the National Archives of Estonia, Tallinn, on 14th of June 2023.
