“Vaskjala legendid” on installatiivne muinasjutt, milles põimuvad legendid Vaskjala silla piigast, kes unistas Kuu kaasaks saamisest ning õelast Ussiaugu mõisahärrast, keda tänu tema kurjategemistele igalpool ussid jälitasid. Installatsioonis kuuleb ka katkendit Lauri loodud muusikakompositsioonist “Vaskjala lugu”. Installatsiooni esimesed ideealged tärkasid Lauri Vaskjala residentuuri ajal möödunud aasta novembris ning abiks teose arendamisel on olnud Mari-Ann Remmeli raamat “Päritud paigad”.
Lauri tänab Vaskjala Loomeresidentuuri, Eesti Kultuurkapitali ja Eesti Kunstnike Liitu!

Lauri Lest “Legends of Vaskjala”
ARS Showroom gallery 2nd to 20th of May 2024 (Mon–Fri 12–18)
Exhibition opening on 7th of May at 18:00
“Legends of Vaskjala” is an installative fairy tale intertwining the legends of the Vaskjala bridge maiden, who dreamed of becoming the companion of the Moon, and the evil manor lord of Ussiaugu (Snake Hole), who, due to his evil deeds, was pursued by snakes everywhere. The installation also features an excerpt from Lauri's musical composition "Vaskjala Piece". The installation was partly conceived during Lauri’s residency at the Copper Leg Art Residency in Vaskjala last November and Mari-Ann Remmel's book “Päritud paigad” (Inherited Places) has been instrumental in developing the work.
Lauri would like to thank the Copper Leg Art Residency, Cultural Endowment of Estonia and Estonian Artists’ Associations!
