"As far as Malvina Jelinskaskaitė's photographic practices are concerned, it is probably inaccurate to use the conventional notion of "photography", as for her, photography is more of an intuitive state of sensual reality conveyed by the camera than simply the creation of images. Therefore, Jelinskaite's photographic practices can also be described as performative.
