非决定性瞬间Non-decisive moments
20世纪80年代和90年代的交汇点标志着立陶宛具有重大意义的的变化时期，不仅仅表现在立陶宛的政治生命中，同时也在国家的艺术舞台上。在当时，决定立陶宛摄影艺术转折点的新一代艺术家们出现了。人文摄影在盛行几十年后被一个较少表现风格，却更加个性化和更切实关注周围环境、人类和身体的摄影所取代。艺术家们不再为追逐“布列松的决定性瞬间“而在街头流浪;相反，他们占据了被观察者的位置。深远的视野已经被封闭的形象创作所取代，创造者专注于他们身边的事物，记录那些几乎匿名的环境。摄影被越来越频繁地用于反映个人的想法和经验：摄影从公众的转变为非常个人化的和沉默的。摄影师运用自己简洁的创作语言故意模糊了作品构图和亮度的标准;他们模仿业余摄影，而纯粹的美学也失去了往日的重要性。The juncture of 1980s and 1990s marked significant changes not only in the political life of Lithuania, but also in the art stage of the country. At the time a new generation of artists who determined a turning point in Lithuanian photography emerged. Humanistic photography that prevailed for several decades was replaced by a less expressive yet much more personal and real look into own surroundings, human being, body. Artists ceased wandering the streets in the chase of that Bressonic „decisive moment“; on the contrary, they adopted the position of passive observers. Far reaching horizons were superseded by an extremely closed image composition, creators focused on things close to them, recorded almost anonymous environments. Photography was more and more frequently used to reflect personal thoughts and experiences: it transformed from public into very personal and silent. With their choice of laconic language, photographers confounded the usual standards of composition and brightness on purpose; they imitated amateur photography, while pure aesthetics lost its former importance.
所有这些艺术家都有他们自己的个人视觉和思维，并以自己独特的创意在作品中表达自己的世界观。除了一些展出的20世纪80年代和90年代创作的作品，展览被更现代观念的作品所填充，以崭新的摄影姿态和对真实的概念拓宽了现代立陶宛摄影的前景。All these artists discerned with their individual sight and thinking, developed creative ideas in their own peculiar ways to express their world-view. Apart from works created in 1980s and 1990s, the exhibition is complemented by more contemporary conceptual works, which broaden the prospect of modern Lithuanian photography with a new attitude to a photographic object and the concept of reality.
1991年中华人民共和国正式承认立陶宛独立，今天我们将纪念两国建交25周年。值此之际，我们不仅想要介绍20世纪六十、七十年代这段黄金年代的立陶宛经典摄影，同时，我们也想展示在我们国家重新获得独立时期的艺术进程与发展。In 1991 China recognized the statehood of Lithuania, thus today we commemorate the 25th anniversary of diplomatic cooperation between the countries. On this occasion, there is an intention to not only introduce classical Lithuanian photography, the golden age of which is considered to be 1960s and 1970s, but also to show the art processes that took place during the period of regaining independence and those that are taking place at the moment.
