Kut, a Latvian arts collective made up of filmmakers, musicians, artists, politicians and cats, recently did a guerilla action called ‘Oh Joy!’ on the streets of Riga. They brought nature into the city. Turned a day into a celebration of summer. Here’s what they said about it:

We brought the country to the city. To revive the grey concrete, to break the routine and give you a moment to reflect on what we are and where we are going. Sometimes surprises just happen and we have no influence over them but we do have influence over our perception. How ready are you to accept whatever life throws at you with a smile?

And even better is they made a proper, short documentary on the piece. Most of the time artists don’t record their actions properly. This on the otherhand is well edited with good camera work.
