Victory Park

Photographs are centrally placed in a line along the walls of a large room. There are pillars standing across the room, with two low tables placed between two of the pillars.

Two framed photographs are placed centrally side by side, the one on the left shows a man dressed in military gear holding a bazooka and the right one shows an aerial view of a snow covered parking lot.

Two framed photographs are placed sided by side. The one on the left shows an old man dressed in military attire. The one on the right shows a nude woman standing in the hallway of what seems to be a hotel.

For his first major solo show in the UK, Latvian artist Balcus presented Victory Park, a new body of work and visual narrative of what Latvia is like in the 21st Century. The series extends his documentary approach to one of a contemporary fairy-tale referencing landscape, politics and sex.
