Projection night “Do you feel like you’re in the eye of a hurricane?”
Screening of competition finalists’ works
Kaštonas, Naglių St. 18b, next to the marina
Friday, Sept. 16, 8.30 p.m.

Artists and photographers were invited to submit lens-based works to explore the theme of “Do you feel like you’re in the eye of a hurricane?”. How has the world changed in the time of quarantine and after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine? It seems that everything calmed down, or at least we’ve got used to the situation surrounding us. The information flow from the east is constant, quarantine restrictions are off and travelling is easier again. But is it really calmer? Is it really over? Maybe we’re in a temporary calm – like in the eye of a hurricane. After some time, will chaos erupt again? How will the situation in the world mark the future of photographic storytelling, and how differently will we read pictures in the future?

Congratulations to all 20 artists whose work we will have a chance to see on the big screen by the beautiful Curonian Lagoon. And this year’s finalist, who will present her work in the main program, is Serena Dzenis from Australia but residing in Iceland.
