Deimantas Narkevicius: From one political formation to another

We visit the Lithuanian artist's studio in Vilnius

Originally trained as a sculptor, Deimantas Narkevicius began working with film in the early 1990s. His films examine the relationship between personal memory and political history, particularly in relation to the profound social changes experienced in Eastern Europe.

Employing archival footage, voice-overs, interviews, re-enactments and found photographs, Narkevicius's films and videos reinterpret historical events by playing with different narrative structures, such as memoir, documentary and drama.
