MONIKA BIELSKYTE’S PHOTOGRAPHIC JOURNEY IS NOT JUST ONE OF VISUAL METAPHOR – IT’S A VERY REAL PASSING THROUGH THE WORLD, A FEELING FOR THE CONSTANT WORK IN PROGRESS AND LOSS, A PATHOS OF TIME’S DEPARTURE; LIKE SOME OF THE LITERARY WORDS CITED IN HER WEBSITE, ‘[HER] EYES RESEMBLE PONDS & MOVING SHAPES FLOW ACROSS THEM’ (RILKE), A LINE THAT OFFSETS BIELSKYTE’S ARTISTIC EXCHANGES WITH HER FLUCTUATING ENVIRONMENT. HER WORK IS A STATE OF CONSTANT PHYSICAL MOTION, COMBINED WITH CONSTANT PAUSE FOR OBSERVATION.

CONTEMPLATING BIELSKYTE’S WORK CAN BE DIZZYING, LIKE WATCHING THE AGES OF THE WORLD BEING DISMANTLED AND PUT BACK TOGETHER AGAIN, INEXPLICABLY OVER AND OVER. REFERENCES TO UNIVERSAL DISPLACEMENT, AND TO THE EVANESCENCE OF SITUATIONS, OF INDIVIDUALS AND OF IMAGES THEMSELVES ACT AS MEDITATIONS ON THE ACT OF LOOKING. ‘THESE ARE THE CLOUDS THAT MAKE UP A MOUNTAIN’, AN EARLIER SERIES, OBSERVES THE WAY CONTOURS NOT ONLY SHAPE, BUT CREATE WHAT THEY SURROUND: AS IF LOOKING, WE FIND SOMETHING TO LOOK AT. ‘THE GOOD ANGELS OF FALL’ CONSIDER THE WAY SIMILARLY CONTOURING STRUCTURES EXIST WHEN WHAT THEY WERE BUILT FOR HAS DISAPPEARED
