Midlife Crisis
Immersive group show, Arte Vilnius gallery, Polocko 10, Vilnius, Lithuania. Opened 4 April 2025
A group show about the turning point of midlife: from colours losing their brightness to numbness and indifference to what is going on.
With Sasha Kru, Max Kostenko, Marta Žuravskaja, Sergey Shikurov and Anastasia Korotkova, a light installation by Denis Bykovskiy and a DJ set by SPRLZNSS (DE). Over 300 people came to the opening.

I tried. Honestly. I came up with a series of works and thought through every element that would reveal the idea, but… crisis.
Helplessness before the emptiness inside came out as what I think is an absolute work, one where there is no work at all. Only the shadow of what was conceived and never made.

A video of me (43 min 36 s), a single mattress 90 × 200 cm, a sheet and a pillow. April 2025
My second work for the show of the same name is meant to pass on the sense of pointlessness and emptiness that comes with this period for me.
Visitors could lie down on the mattress however they liked and take in the video projected above them in their own way.
