KAUNAS PHOTO 2012: ECLECTICISM AND DISCOVERIES

By Milda Kiaušaitė

Another eye-catching highlight of the festival is the photographs of the Lithuanian colleague Jonas Kulikauskas, created by the wet plate collodion process, documenting the everyday life, relations and household of the Lithuanian community in America. J. Kulikauskas is fluent in his works (cycles "St. Casimir's Parish in Los Angeles" and "Camp Rambynas") even in three exhibitions: Gallery 101, Historical Kaunas Presidential Palace and Joint Exhibition "About Photography" M In Žilinskas Art Gallery. Old-fashioned photographs need to be slowly, deeply thought-out, so that is what they should look at carefully and without haste. Not only the contents of J. Kulikauskas' photographs, but also the aesthetics of a certain concept of “far” and “close”: the photographs created just a month ago are both new and covered with a time shade, as if the burden of the centuries is depressed like their heroes. Along with Lithuania and far away, we are closer than many of us will ever be.
