Sound sculpture explores the current social scenery of the Curonian Spit region (Lithuania). For ages, fishing was deeply connected to the folk culture of the region and boats were the essential tool. Every day fishermen would drag their boats from one shore (the lagoon) to the other (the Baltic Sea), probably stopping in the middle to rest.
Now everything has changed. Fishermen's villages turned into summer vacation spots with various villas and resorts. The art piece is constructed from the wood material found on the Curonian Spit’s shores to look like a small fishing boat lying upside down as if it was just dragged from the sea and left to dry. One side of this small boat was turned into a bench, inviting the spectator to sit down and rest. The name comes from the situation of the boat: one end is pointing to the Curonian lagoon and the other is pointing to the sea.
The boat has two speakers on both sides, so while resting you can hear the sounds of the lagoon on one end and the sea rustling on the other.
