Our cultural and political perceptions, as well as our social imagination, are shaped by global images that have taken root in our subconscious. These symbols become invisible structures that determine how we interpret reality and construct meaning.

The exhibition explores altered states of consciousness: dreams, rituals, uncanny experiences, and other liminal forms of human existence. The images, symbols, and objects that emerge from these states become a means of seeking universal meanings hidden between individual experience and collective memory. The works invite viewers to regard the subconscious as a space where personal experiences, cultural archetypes, and global narratives intertwine.

Donatas Repeika, born in Vilnius (b. 1997) graduated from the Telšiai Faculty of the Vilnius Academy of Arts, where he earned a Bachelor’s degree in Applied Sculpture in 2020 and a Master’s degree in Applied Arts in 2022. His final projects for both degrees received high praise for their craftsmanship, conceptual depth, and the way they explored contemporary art discourse through both content and form.
The artist currently teaches at the same faculty. Since 2017, the artist has been actively participating in group exhibitions and international initiatives, and has already presented solo exhibitions in Telšiai, Biržuvėnai, and Kaunas.

The exhibition will run through September 12. On the closing day, there will be a creative workshop and a guided tour of the exhibition.
