URBAN PAUSES:
KRISTINE MOGILEVCEVA & DARIA KHRAMOVA (LV/IL)
installation programme
URBAN PAUSES/ August 16-19
9 installations / different locations
The main theme of the 2023 festival is "Urban Pauses" that focuses on the wastelands and voids of Tartu. These are transitional and untamed places, which at first glance seem to lack function, but nevertheless are valuable as they are. Together with artists we explore the impact and meaning of urban pauses in the city space. Installations inspired by urban pauses are created by nine artists or groups from Estonia and abroad, three of them are young architects that were selected through an open competition.

A desire path is a universal urban figure. It reflects a fundamental aspect of human interaction with the environment – the tendency to form routes based on convenience. Despite embodying the dwellers’ subjective and collective preferences in navigating the urban setting, trails are often perceived merely as unremarkable transitional spaces.
The installation highlights this urban phenomenon by introducing an alternative reading - a sudden moment of pause. Crafted from commonplace materials, the enigmatic structure prompts a fresh encounter with the trail through unconventional usage scenarios.
Daria Khramova & Kristīne Mogiļevceva are graduate students at TU Delft Faculty of Architecture. They are interested in an interdisciplinary approach to architecture, which blurs the boundaries between art, scenography, and engineering.
