Event description
J. Nekrašius on the photography exhibition Voyages: 'Life is a journey in one direction. "It is a joy to plan a journey. It is a joy to make a journey. To remember a journey is the reward of everything. In fact, life is a journey. ... Memories are the reward, which seems to be far more valuable than the fact itself. It is an enrichment of the human interior, a test of friendliness, patience and passions. So what is a journey? ... To travel is to shake off all the daily, petty, vicious dust, to forget the petty and sometimes larger intrigues, to renew and replenish one's inner self - to become a greater person." - said the traveller and anthropologist Antanas Poška (1903-1902)." About the exhibition of (non-)colour mobilography "The Seasons": "The smartphone captures what the eye, the gaze, the lens sees at a given moment. Scenery, scenes, rhythm, images change. The pulse of the city and the time change not only the face of the person, but also the face of the city. All this is captured in its details and fragments. Life in the city. Moments in everyday life. Everyone sees what is interesting, meaningful, unexpected, special. Clouds in the sky, reflections in the water, in windows, shadows on the pavement, on the walls of houses. All this is our world, which may not necessarily be big. Sometimes a small object contains a deep thought, a coded idea, a mood. It's important to keep a sense of discovery in our environment. It helps to discover the code of a time and a city." The Šiauliai Art Gallery (Vilniaus g. 245) will be open until 31 August.
