Silences of Vilnius
Exhibited at duo exhibition under the same title, VDA Galerija Akademija, Vilnius (2021)
Collaboration with Juozapas Švelnys
Risography, 35mm photography, drawing, magnetic sound tape installation, concrete objects
The exhibition consists of audio recordings, a risograph publication and objects which were made in attempt to capture the intangible event of silence. Two young artists go after silence in city’s open spaces, dormant buildings and encapsulate findings into fragmented concrete objects. Sentimental value in both process and result is one of the key points which artists are striving for. In order to comprehend silence one shall go beyond absence of noise – attention is directed towards the events, echoes, reverberations and imprints in the city that surround silence. From noise level measurements and loudest traffic spots to wind blowing pedestrians’ hair – the viewer is immersed by the notion of silence and invited to experience it in a lively and intimate way.
