On June 11 at 6 p.m., the Meno Ni\u0161a Gallery will host the opening of photographer Gedvil\u0117 Tamo\u0161i\u016bnait\u0117\u2019s solo exhibition, Screen Works, curated by Egl\u0117 Ambrasait\u0117. The exhibition features the artist\u2019s new series of silkscreen prints. The prints, on both glass and paper, explore the relationship between today\u2019s people and screens, the excess of images, and the fragmented digital everyday life. Tamo\u0161i\u016bnait\u0117 is the second artist in this year\u2019s gallery project, Meno Ni\u0161a: Open Call.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gedvil\u0117 Tamo\u0161i\u016bnait\u0117 is a Lithuanian artist and photographer currently living and working in Berlin. She completed her studies in photography and media art at the Vilnius Academy of Arts in 2015 and earned a master\u2019s degree in photography from the University of Art and Design Lausanne (ECAL) in Switzerland in 2020. Her creative practice encompasses photography, video art, and visual expression. Her work has been exhibited internationally, and she was selected for the FuturesTalent program in 2024.<\/p>\n

The exhibition Screen Works explores our daily existence within a constant stream of images, ranging from live broadcasts and surveillance cameras to screenshots and low-resolution snippets of virtual everyday life. In the artist\u2019s practice, these images are not captured as documents but rather transformed into another state: one that is slow, material, and demands a physical gaze and time.<\/p>\n

G. Tamo\u0161i\u016bnait\u0117 creates her works using the silkscreen technique to print images onto glass and paper. In this process, the digital, ephemeral image gains weight and layers, becoming dependent on light and the movement of the viewer. Thus, the screen flow transforms into a series of objects in which the image becomes time frozen in place, no longer a fleeting event.<\/p>\n

\u201cScreen images are temporary, low-quality, and derived from constantly changing video material. Through the silkscreen process, however, they become material, enriched with layers of ink, glass, and manual labor. Essentially weightless and random information takes on a physical form,\u201d says the artist.<\/p>\n

A key theme of the exhibition is the tension between the ephemeral nature of digital images and the slow, analog creative process. The artist emphasizes that this contrast also defines her position in photography. \u201cAs a photographer, I am weary of images and the economy of attention. My work is a resistance to that speed. I want to slow down the gaze and soften the stimulation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Exhibition curator Egl\u0117 Ambrasait\u0117 connects this idea to the concept of a dark mirror, which reflects historical and contemporary connections between obsidian and screens. In ancient Mesoamerican cultures, polished obsidian was considered a ritual object and a portal between worlds. Today, screens have taken over this function, serving as contemporary reflective surfaces.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn my opinion, this exhibition accurately reflects the current state of post-media, offering clear commentary on today\u2019s world. It is neither cheerful nor gloomy, but rather Gedvil\u0117\u2019s realistic relationship with her surroundings. All of the artist\u2019s work is compelling, from the way she perceives light and composition to how naturally she conceptualizes her pieces. Her works are exceptionally contemporary \u2013 rich, profound, playful, and exploratory of the concepts of visuality and image,\u201d says E. Ambrasait\u0117.<\/p>\n

The exhibition Screen Works will run until July 3.<\/p>\n
