Born in 1980 in Skuodas, Lithuania, and now based in Vilnius, the Lithuanian artist Alvydas Donėla considers photography to be a particular media that includes the direction and indexicality of time, yet it can’t guarantee we’ll reach any concrete destinations. It’s a form or a method to provoke/summon change, empowering us to delve deeper than just into the cyclical stability of frame. For Alvydas Donėla, contemporary photography becomes a body to create one's own new statement.
