Architect and researcher Gabrielė Dužinskytė invites to play Monopoly of the Baltic Sea, renegotiating value systems and tracing the ontologies of Lynetteholm, sand and sea.

If we think about ghosts as entities that go beyond matter and time, how do they haunt territories and turn them into non-places? When it comes to international waters, the legislation that applies is only provisional, therefore largely ignored by companies and governments, turning the seascape into a negative common and driving it further into the state of an ecological wasteland. To what extent is the Baltic Sea already a mental wasteland and what are the actors/activities that bring the relation to this water body further away from the public imaginary? What ghosts are connecting Helsinki and Copenhagen?

The workshop is part of the Vilnius-based mentorship programme Experiments’ Platform for emerging spatial practitioners. In 2025 four fellows explore the theme ’Reflecting Abundance’. Through immersive happenings the public is invited into the fellows’ project research in different locations across the city investigating urban velocities, exhausted winds, public baths and economies of wastelands. Following the happenings Experiments’ Platform hosts a discussion on the importance of experiments and alternative education.

Experiments’ Platform was founded in 2021 by the non-profit organisation Architekturos fondas
