Every old and remarkable building has its ghost, and for Daugavpils Fortress it is a warhorse. Much like fortresses, warhorses were crucial to military infrastructure, but development of military technology rendered both of them obsolete almost at once. For the most part, the cold reality of war is neither medals, nor noble victories, but broken and ruined lives. To the authors of the sculpture, war brings back memories of World War I photographs depicting soldiers swathed in bandages. Therefore, \u201cthis ghost of a war horse is a brooding and bandaged mount rather than a galloping steed with a wind-tossed mane\u201d. The sculpture glows in the dark and invites interaction. You can draw on it with a flashlight, and you needn\u2019t even wait for the dark \u2013 twilight will do just fine. The longer you focus your flashlight on the horse, the brighter the glow of your drawing or inscription will be.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"row contacts-block-info\">\n<div class=\"col-xs-6 col-md-4\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Meteotite-187-560x373.jpg\" alt=\"Sculpture \u201cMeteorite\u201d\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-xs-6 col-md-8\">\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Sculpture \u201cMeteorite\u201d<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This sculpture by Sovleiga Vasi\u013cjeva is a tribute to P\u0113teris Martinsons (1931\u20132013) \u2013 a global star of ceramics and a native of Daugavpils whose meteoric genius keeps dazzling and inspiring artists and the medium\u2019s enthusiasts worldwide. The site-specific artwork was created in a one-artist residency organised by the Rothko Museum. The sculptor found inspiration in Martinsons\u2019s ink drawing from the 1950s, which he had donated to the Rothko Museum. Vasi\u013cjeva\u2019s sculptural touch fleshed out and expanded the original drawing, adding new dimensions and structures but keeping an apparent reference to Martinsons\u2019s oeuvre and philosophy.

Built between 1810 and 1878, Daugavpils Fortress is a unique architectural monument and a historical landmark of national importance, spanning more than 150 hectares.
