According to art critic Laima Kreivytė, Ieva Babilaitė's exhibition is a journey through the labyrinth of memory. The artist tries to remember what she has not experienced herself, but what has been inscribed in her life from her mother's and grandparents' stories - through words, silences, and hunches. Feeling the connection of generations with her body. Genes, blood, inherited dreams, old wounds opening up. Ieva recreates and at the same time creates memory - gives it a form, a material, inhabits it in space. She scatters the illegible pages of the past and translates them into her own language. A personal one, understandable only to her, and a universal one, understandable to everyone through symbols and archetypes. Susan Sontag wrote that memory can only be individual, that it dies with the person. But it can be shared by telling or writing down stories, by creating signs and symbols. This is what memory researcher Aleida Assmann says. Even if we are not direct witnesses of history, we can experience it as our own, not only individually but also collectively. Ieva Babilaitė builds bridges to the stories of exile, separation and return by imaginatively linking her grandfather's and grandmother's memories, their belongings and her own media. Her paintings, objects and books are not only works of art, but also repositories of time. It is a library of memory, collected, arranged and mixed again in a particular way. The gallery "Kairė-right" (Latako str. 3, Vilnius) will be open until 11 January.
