Reclaiming the Past, Reimagining Oneself: The Work of Deimantas Narkevicius.


Lithuanian artist Deimantas Narkevicius (1964) started working in film at the beginning of the 1990s. His work analyzes the convoluted relationships between individual memory and collective history, reinterpreting events by using various formal techniques to deconstruct the dominant narratives. He works with archival footage, oral and micro histories, re-enactments and found objects, and employs them in hybrid genres, such as textual and visual memoirs, documentary, and drama.
