Laima Matuzonytė, Backgrounds & Players

I’m questioning “real”, “fictional” and in-between situations. My work is based on a relationship between drawing and photography. For my drypoint drawings, I collect images while travelling – often to the regions where I can relate, as a Lithuanian, to the history or way of living. Even though I’m looking for connections, the viewer stays as an outsider to the situation in the picture. That is a theatre
like situation.
The curtain series depicts the in-between situations of “nature” and “not nature”. It could be a theatre
curtains hiding something or window curtains as a metaphor of looking very long through the window to the landscape.
