Traces. Photo installation, 1999 - 2008.

The Traces cycle, which began evolving in 1999, places its focus on territories inhabited by people. The exploration and transformation of urban spaces is connected to the organization, migration, communication, and self-awareness of communities and individuals. “Traces” seeks to mark the outer limits of personal experiences in the present situation.

The work is not a representative city panorama but rather a hyper textual telling about the space where people live. The story does not have the central axis and focuses on the possibility to experience the same space over and over again.

Gytis Skudžinskas - Born in 1975 in Lithuania, works and lives in Palanga/ Klaipeda. In 1999 - 2003 he studied at Vilnius Academy of Fine Arts, Klaipeda Department of Visual design, in 2005 he was awarded the MA of visual arts. Since 1999 he has taken part in group exhibitions and since 2001 he has been supervising different visual art projects in Western Lithuania. In 2006 he became a member of Lithuanian Photography Union. In 1995-2005 he took part in the art action group SaliKApalikau (aka Ensemble SP).

In his works the author uses different forms of expression - photography, drawing and installation. In the recent times he chooses photography more often - the way of constructing the view which allows not only to create a piece of art but also a multilayer presentation with the shade of authentic documentary.
