SIGITA DACKEVICIUTE’S „(ECOLOGICAL) ALTERATIONS“

Exhibition of installations by Sigita Dackeviciute “(Ecological) Alterations” will take place in the Exhibition Hall of Klaipeda Culture Communication Centre (KCCC) (Didzioji Vandens g. 2, Klaipeda) from Friday, 26 February 2021.

Installations of Sigita Dackeviciute unite several starting points. These are a focus on processes (as opposed to unchanging, entrenched states), “becoming another” (trying to be on the frontier, or simply “in someone else’s shoes”), and questioning or ironic attitudes towards conventional hierarchies. Alterations are small, sometimes barely perceptible changes in appearance, condition, structure, in music – a change in tone or halftone.

The lines of artistic research of the installations meander through ecological themes and the junctures of nature and technology. The motifs of the works stemmed from the author’s personal experiences, various encounters in ecologically sensitive contexts, intensities and changes of sensations. The works do not provide answers; only try to reveal the complex relationship between the modern man and the nature.

The thematic tension is maintained by the contrasts of shapes, materials and rhythms: floating polyester shapes and planar, stop-motion plastic, saw-blade-like sharp metal edges and fluffy (real-fake) fur, rectangular computer code rhythms in blue screen light and natural structures of vegetation world. Different shapes and rhythms interact with visual references in various ways: they reinforce or contrast them, creating additional, contradictory layers of significance.

Individual installation blocks have already been exhibited in previous exhibitions, here they have been developed to a completed project.
