The Replika series is a commentary on the urban space, a remark that intervenes in an environment crowded with various advertisements, messages and texts. A “free city”, as Klaipėda often presents itself, could be free from many things, including sculptures of often dubious artistic (and any other) value, popping up in any free space, often as a “gift to the city” from a business company or simply as an “accent feature”. This artwork proposes a critical look at this urban tendency of hyper-realistic kitsch objects everywhere, and invites us to see the beauty of the city simply in its architectural forms, in the structure of the streets and the spaces they create, and in the city’s nature pockets.
