GABRIELĖ ADOMAITYTĖ – TRAVERSING DISCRETE LOCI
2020-08-24Traversing Discrete Loci, refers to the method of loci, an ancient Greek memory enhancement technique which uses imaginary locations for storing information through mental image-making (loci being Latin for “places”). Gabrielė Adomaitytė has been working with the story of an archivist in Lithuania, who has turned his house into a museum called The Clothes Archive. The museum is essentially a shrine to the Soviet era. Adomaitytė projects this retro-utopian world into the series of paintings presented in The Bakery. The multiplicity of layers alludes to the lack of a singular narrative; instead the narratives come together in a memory palace suspended in time through collage and drawing.
