Biography
Deimantas Narkevičius's entire video oeuvre is a subjective exploration of the history. he often uses the aesthetics and techniques of documentary filmmaking – interviews, archive footage and voice-overs – to examine the relationship between personal memories and political events. His work nevertheless reflects the impossibility of taking an objective view of events and the complexity of memory. Although his films always evoke his native Lithuania, they have a wider resonance as poetic and political studies of ordinary lives lived in a time of great upheaval.
