For the […] Baltic Triennial that followed in 2009, Ozarinskas proposed to build a foam model of the CAC’s floorplan inside the CAC building, at four-fifths of its actual size. This concept was later reimplemented in an exhibition curated by Malašauskas at Tamayo in Mexico City – only this time, the copy of the building was even smaller. ‘When a replica is installed inside the original,’ wrote Malašauskas, ‘an interesting elliptical device is created: it is similar to the one employed by writers who tend to narrate one fiction inside another fiction. Through the “fictive nature” of the “inner fiction” the first one, the one that frames it, end up standing for the real.’
