According to the author, it is a remediation of the photographic legacy of his father Juozas Lukis. The photographs were taken in exile in the Irkutsk region of Alsamay and after returning to Lithuania several years later. The photographer selected, scanned, technically arranged and printed the inherited negatives in various sizes. In May 1948, Jonas and Agota Lukiai and their son Juozas, who had been deported from their own farm in Buvainiai village, Joniškis County, and Kazimieras and Stanislava Petrauskas, with their children Aldona and Algimantas, from the village of Sauginiai, Šiauliai County, were all in one barracks. After working hard, they eventually had their own farm again. Aldona and Juozas started a family. By a miracle, Juozas' sister Eugenia, who was not deported, sent her brother a camera after Stalin's death. The most amazing thing I noticed in my father's photographs, and what inspired this idea, was human dignity and the need for beauty, despite a life of semi-starvation, bereavement, humiliation, physical and psychological abuse. My parents returned to Lithuania in September 1958 and I was born in early November." The exhibition will be on view at Kaunas Photography Gallery (Vilniaus g. 2, Kaunas) until 2 March.
