We invite you to visit photography exhibition ”Moving in Every Direction“

After the students’ exams and finishing the final theses, the exhibition ”Moving in Every Direction“ by photographer Milda Kiaušaitė opened at the VMU Art Gallery ”101“. The exhibition symbolically completes the gallery activities of the spring semester.

The photography series “Moving in Every Direction”, lit. Žingsniai visomis kryptimis (2020) documents the shifting time by focusing on its subjective experience. Using analogue photography and contemporary media, the artist portrays these shifts not as facts but as feelings, states, and emotions. The exhibition brings to light the artificiality in the chronological understanding of time by linking images to memory and nostalgia. In doing so, the photographs create a unified and inseparable whole.

Through the photographs displayed in the exhibition, the author continues to study objective and subjective time and the junctions of the visible and the inner worlds. The collection is a continuation of the themes explored in the “Distorted Memory” photography series, lit. Iškreipta atmintis (2010–2012) and “Time Undefined”, lit. Keistame laike (2015), and an academic study “Time and Photography”, lit. Laikas ir fotografija (2015).
