Kristina Inčiūraitė
Kristina Inčiūraitė employs different types of media to create photography, objects, videos, video installations, experimental films, performances and audio projects. Her works offer a rather sensitive look into the current surroundings. The artist pays a lot of attention to the analysis of identity and its transformation in different social areas. When exploring the undefined or hidden and constantly changing identities, she introduces critical attitude towards the current sociopolitical problems such as the hegemonic power manifestations, negative approach to gender differences or hierarchized social relationship. The feminist topics are also relevant for the artist. She addresses the woman’s position in the society, yet her works rarely feature a feminine figure, avoiding the tangibility of the subject in question or the voyeuristic gaze of the spectator. In her audiovisual works, the artist emphasises the voiceover which moves and provides meaning for the static images.
