Synopsis
Author on her work in the catalog of the "Personal Exhibition" (Riga, 2008):
My son was born not so long ago and I had not been out of the house for 3 months. Mrs. Milda, a neighbor from my childhood, was a taxi driver and remembering her stories I decided that doing a taxi driver's job would be an appealing way to have a break from being a mother as well as a chance to talk with a great variety of people every day. (...) I hired an old Volga, installed two video surveillance cameras in the car's interior. (...) I worked as a taxi driver for nearly three weeks. During this same period, as a passenger I filmed women taxi drivers as they talked about their experiences.
