2016 12 29 -2017 02 12 Darius Vaičekauskas’ Dekonstrukcijos/Deconstructions exhibition will open at the Jonas Mekas Visual Arts Center (Malūnų g. 8, Vilnius) on December 29 at 18.00. The Dekonstrukcijos/Deconstructions series is based on this rejection or “double destruction” tactic, where Vaičekauskas chooses the works of various Lithuanian photographers, classicists and non-classicists and “destroys” them by shredding them into horizontal pieces. In this way, a colleague’s creation or a certain iconic (re)presentation (not the original, but a digital copy?) is symbolically destroyed and, at the same time, the artist escapes his aura of being exceptional. So, it is as if the act of “destruction” represents the history of Lithuanian photography and its hierarchy. However, “destruction” is only the initial intent because Vaičekauskas’ deconstruction leads to a new meaning or an interception into the existing system.
