"Vef Remonts" 2007 120 x 120 cm ( 47" x 47" ) This picture shows the massive VEF "Valsts Elektrotehniskā Fabrika" (State Electrotechnical Factory) in Riga, Latvia, where I lived for three years. This is one of the buildings of the industrial area where my squad was located. For a long period we didn't have showers in the squad -- it became a little nightmare, so I had to sign up to a gym located a 30-minutes walk from our place. The picture is shot in this walking way. I always imagined a 200-meter-long swimming pool (with showers) at the top of the building under a kind of Cryptonite glass roof.
