Liminal Dome is an endeavour into the vast territory off the coast of Nida and below the surface of the Baltic Sea. A submarine architecture and a technique to stage an environment that questions the conditions of possible aquatic life.

This submarine architecture is a place to hide underwater and was temporarily set up in the Baltic Sea. It was accessible for individual visit: Each morning during our residency at Nida Art Colony (LT) I trained my colleagues in breathing, stretching and calisthenics, in preparation for visits to the dome. People were individually invited to follow us to the beach at 5 AM, then dive into the black sphere.
