This was an urban identity experiment performed at Vilnius (Lithuania) airport by Thrilling Cities. The influential ’60s art movement Fluxus, begun in Lithuania, emphasised the “unity of art and life.”
In that spirit, this simple act offers arriving passengers fresh fruit from a vintage crate, gently introducing them to the city’s Bohemian spirit, and making them more likely to perceive other manifestations of that spirit during their time in Vilnius.
