Morta Jonynaitė
07.09 - 01.10.23
A space between the sea and the shore, a metaphor for the contemporary world — groundless, fluid and rapidly changing it affects our lives while we are the accelerators of all the change. Humans have always been enchanted by the seashore — its mysteriousness, power and magic — which evolved into politically, sociologically and historically complex zone. It is becoming evident, that the water is approaching our lives with the rising sea level and I am interested in how to find tranquility during this process. The installation is capturing the moment before the crash of the wave — when water retreats unveiling the beauty of the flora and fauna that can only be found in this particular zone.
Morta Jonynaitė (b. 1995) Exploring the environment through tactility, I try to grasp different phenomena using traditional textile techniques. Hand weaving and knotting are archaic crafts with a clear grid, which I employ to weave stories that capture the present. Presenting my work in the form of installation, I construct intimate spaces where relationships between different experiences and participants are interconnected.
