Liene Pavlovska

1. I am an artist, scenographer and spatial designer. My work begins with an interest in desire and collectivity, as well as how desires are revealed by space and how those determine the living space of humans and other beings.

   I am researching and using theatrical methods of expression in the context of visual art and design. The research mostly manifests as immersive multimedia installations.
