Emilija Škarnulytė

The artist Emilija Škarnulytė (*1987 in Vilnius, Lithuania) works between documentation and imagination. Her films and installations explore the depths of time and invisible structures, from the cosmic and geological to the ecological and political. Enriched with mythological symbolism, her works open up a view beyond the purely human perspective. Figures such as Sirenomelia - inspired by the oldest mythical figure in human history, the mermaid, and embodied by the artist herself - and various female deities populate a world dominated by humans. In the remotest corners, beyond human influence, the hope remains that there can be life after destruction.

For her solo exhibition in the dome-shaped Space01, Emilija Škarnulytė is going to create an immersive installation of video, light and artefacts that plunges us into the mystical side of our world.
