Artist Dainius Liškevičius invites us into his living space where the line between the mundane and the creative is blurred. Home videos and contemporary documentary footage form the film’s cohesive tapestry, with the artist’s flat playing a central role. The flat reveals the everyday world of not just the artist but also his family. This microcosm shows the many ways how day-to-day activities – the ritual of removing the Christmas tree, parties, moving furniture, choosing which drawings will go on the wall, drinking tea – are transformed into performances. The private home space turns into a scene, and family members become actors. The mysterious story of the flat is unraveled in parallel with that of the artist’s works

Dainius Liškevičius belongs to the generation of artists, who have significantly contributed to the renewal of artistic expression after the restoration of independence. In his works, he uses installation, photography, performance and other media, further breaking the boundaries between different disciplines and searching for new forms in contemporary art. His works are characterised by social engagement, contextuality, irony and social critique. Reacting to the topography of a specific place, he examines human behaviour and experience, identity and cultural values, collisions of public and private spaces and collective and personal memory. In 2015 Dainius Liškevičius represented Lithuania at the 56th Venice Biennale, where he presented his Museum project.
