Lithuanian photography. The second word of this phrase is much more familiar to the world than the name of a country with a complex historical destiny in North-Eastern Europe. After all, photography in Lithuania emerged only half a decade later than in France - the First and Second World Wars, deportations, partisan movements, and the Soviet occupation led to its rapid development and expansion.
 
This is how the 20 years of independent Lithuania have produced a new generation of photographers. The authors featured in this publication are not one-year olds, but they are united no longer by their artistic opposition to the system, to government control, to ideological meaninglessness, but by the actuality and reality of the 21st century. This generation not only lives in a global world, but also thinks and creates globally. Some of them live in New York or London, others are based in Europe or South America. Many of them have already established themselves in different art markets and territories. Some are at the top of the demand curve, others, perhaps, on the way there. And while it is possible to see common themes in their work, solutions of expression that are common to all contemporary art, there are some categories that are common to all eleven artists. These are young, contemporary, professional, global and legitimised Lithuanian photography.
 
This collection is one of many possible views on the young generation of contemporary Lithuanian photography, an opinion that has no end in sight...
