Audrius Grazys
Our world – is the world of the human, who has several identity spaces, that he is desperately trying to collect to one place and to connect, but he feels, that each identity of him slips out from the hands and gets independent existence. The world of silent structures offers us the life of nomads, global passers-by and virtual crowd episodes. However, each fragment of the life and our identity is important. Nothing is significant in this world of the flow and incessant change. Look carefully to yourself in each section of the time, because tomorrow it will be lost by you – it is a message, which is sent by deep, reflexive, but, also, spontaneously versatile and unpredictable art of Audrius Gražys.
