Abandoned Mystery is a Multi\/Inter\/Trans\/Cross\/Non-disciplinary Expedition pilot project on exploring the constitution of the phenomena of abandoned military sites of the European edges in the Baltic Sea area. (Pre-WWII fortifications, Soviet military heritages in Koenigsberg\/Kaliningrad, Memel\/Klaipeda and Riga, Curonian Spit, Vyborg, Karelian Isthmus\/Russia, Liepaja, Vainode, Skrunda\/Latvia as well as Porkkala, Suomenlinna, Miehikk\u00e4l\u00e4\/Finland and Plateliai, Gulbiniskiai, Rimsai\/Lithuania).
\n
\nFluctuating between art, (social) science, history, anthropology, architecture mythology and involving different types of cross-disciplinary mutants, detectives and innovators from the field of: acoustic, architecture, psycho-mytho-geography, critical cartography and not-yet-defined, the project seeks to explore those mysterious locations and study their inner logic as an interaction between nature, people, ancient, contemporary, past and future. In cooperation with partners the core-group of initiators is organizing a number of field-trips towards abandoned places in Russia, Lithuania, Latvia, and Finland while residing in Nida\/LT, Aizpute\/LV and Miehikk\u00e4l\u00e4\/FI. The documentation, data and artistic outcomes will be published on this website becoming the platform for cross-collaborative on-going laboratory and archive.<\/p>\n
The mission of the AbMy:
\n* To reveal the fascinating history of the abandoned issues through cross-cultural dialogue
\n* To give a voice to what is forgotten through adventure, environmenta awareness, respect to the mystery and abandoned unsustainable.<\/p>\n
The questions raised are:
\n* Will our “non-secret research and attention” to the abandoned\/hidden environments will de-mystify them by default? And if “yes” how can we be respective to this issue?
\n* Could the natural phenomena and mysteries of abandoned objects, subjects and environments still fascinate today’s people and coming generation, saturated by digital entertainments?
\n* Could they shift the attitude of people to more respectful and caring direction concerning those environments as they are?<\/p>\n
