Asni Gallery will host a solo exhibition by Pēteris Vīksna

From June 20 to August 2, the contemporary art gallery Asni will host a solo exhibition by photographer Pēteris Vīksna entitled This Feels Familiar. In this new series of works, Pēteris explores two parallel narratives — urban and corporeal — by analysing their intersections, contrasts, and common structures. The exhibition is part of the Riga Photography Biennial Next 2025 programme, whose theme this year is «Invisible but Present». Vīksna’s work closely resonates with this concept, offering reflections on the strangely familiar feeling of recognition.
