"The circumstances of waiting, birth and growth of the child had various influences on the project: delaying it in time, but deepening it through experience. You could say that we grew up in a three-way process. Together, we tragicomically experienced the impossibility of growing up to an ideally sustainable consumption, despite the efforts made to move towards this both utopian and hopeful goal. It is a fact that some have grown tired of, while others have come to expect it as an unavoidable reality, especially when rethinking the limits of human existence, which are mainly pushed by the threats of senseless war and climate change. The series (Un)Obligatory Landscape (2018-2025) is about the temporary forgetting of oneself in the midst of a break from the hustle and bustle of life. The slowed-down phase of the immediate past has left a nagging reflex to find and relocate spatial combinations, signs of human presence, by playing with scale. The location of the observations (a few of the greenest parks and courtyards in Kaunas) turned into a vicious circle, an almost obligatory trajectory of the sign of infinity. Its boundaries were narrowed by a specifically changing physical capacity, a kind of trap, familiar to many a mother.The landscapes she often visited turned into a medium for this forced meditation. Eventually, the surroundings of our slowly cultivated plot in the countryside intervened. In the new spaces, re-created by the imagination, the former human existence is marked only by the traces of things that have not yet decayed, like monuments." (Greta Grendaitė, Tomas Vosylius) The exhibition will be on view at the Meno Parkas Gallery (27 Rotušės a. 27, Kaunas) until 9 March.
