This summary was written by Max Kazemzadeh.
One of the greatest treasures of Latvia's natural resources is the sun stone - amber that came into existence 40 million years ago and which can still be found on the Baltic Sea coast. This exhibition will reveal this unusual stone in large-scale macro photographs. Through this innovative approach to the sun stone, the photographer Andris Zēgners offers us a new concept of amber. We are given a unique change to look at a close-up of this ancient jewel. The artist has created a brand new visual environment from this ancient micro-reality with the help of highly innovative macro photographic system.

Andris Zēgners is a Latvian born artist, who studied at the Latvian State Academy of Music, Department of Culture and Art Science (1980-84)
