About

I have been actively involved with various art subcultures since the mid-nineties, both as an artist and a curator, alongside periods of working as a newspaper reporter and coding on alternative computer platforms as a demoscene participant. My longest affiliation is with the electronic music scene and its New Media offsprings: in this realm, I organised some of the key raves and festivals in Latvia back in the noughties. I approach an event as a work of art in itself, thinking of the total experience of the visitors; integrating a particular space with carefully curated music and visual, installation and performance art. On a more intimate scale, I have been producing and releasing music, and developing an innovative live visuals engine, which led to performances at clubs and festivals across Europe. For the last many years I have been working internationally as a cinematographer, gaining extensive experience and a robust ability to work in difficult, unfolding situations – but also producing, directing and editing my own projects, most notably ones based in Eastern Ukraine: Frontier Church, the story of an Orthodox priest bringing church services to soldiers on the front line; and Divided Together, an experimental cross-discipline venture involving composite 360 video and theatre performance. Always on the hunt for stories with a global reach from anywhere in the world, with particular interest in topics that touch on the various freedoms of an individual, or society as a whole, including those of spiritual practices and subcultures, and the feedback loop of human choices shaping environment shaping human life.
