Fifteen Latvian "puzurs" lanterns will be part of the International Lantern Garden display at the Brisbane Festival.
Šie festivālam gatavotie puzuri nav no tradicionāliem dabiskiem materiāliem, bet no balta plastmasas dzeramiem salmiņiem, kas brīvā dabā izstādīti, cerams, būs izturīgi diezgan. Puzurus gatavoja Inga, Ilva, Vita un Zīle. Ar labiem padomiem palīdzēja Vendija (Wendy), Māra un Zigrīda. Mārtiņš biezu rasēšanas papīru izgreznoja ar Lielvārdes jostas motīviem, no kā tad izveidoja laternas "gaismekli".
Atsauksmes no laternu dārza rīkotājiem par latviešu puzuriem ir ļoti iepriecinošas!

"Latvian puzuri" Brisbane festival international lantern garden
Fifteen Latvian "puzurs" lanterns will be part of the International Lantern Garden display at the Brisbane Festival. This multicoloured, multicultural display, designed by the festival’s creative director, Tony Assness will light up the gateway to Southbank’s Cultural Forecourt every night from 6.00 pm for the three weeks of the Brisbane festival from 8 - 29 September.
The PUZURS ("u" as in "put") is a traditional Latvian decoration made for the winter solstice, usually created from natural materials - straw, reeds or stalks - strung together by twine to form rhomboid forms. These can be assembled in a variety of ways, the smallest resembling birds, the largest, most complex in the form of lanterns - called LATERNA.
They are suspended from the ceiling and behave like 3D mobiles, creating shadow play on walls and inducing a calm and peaceful atmosphere within a room. Interpretations abound as to their purpose and meaning. Some suggest that the crystal like form converts positive from negative energy. Some, say that it conveys the idea of a universe in constant and ordered motion; or explains human existence within time and space; or keeps life balanced. Perhaps, more simply, as a thing of beauty, its only purpose is to please the eye and the soul.
The version prepared for the Brisbane Festival was created out of plastic drinking straws and strung with synthetic fibre by Inga, Ilva, and Vita and Zile. Invaluable advice came from Wendy and Mara. The light diffuser is a cylinder of drafting paper onto which Martins printed the design of a woven sash from the Lielvarde region - an intricate design, said to carry an ancient story, perhaps a history, perhaps the meaning of life?
