Miglė Markulytė’s Solo Exhibition “through the eyes of anOther name. (non)being” at Marcinkonys Railway Station Gallery

On 15 August at 1 pm, Miglė Markulytė’s solo exhibition “through the eyes of anOther name. (non)being” will open at Marcinkonys Railway Station Gallery (Kastinio St. 1C, Marcinkonys).

Places you’ve (not) visited seem so familiar. As long as you remember them, as long as you believe that they are real. They disappear when your eyes are open; they are invisible when your eyes are shut. Only through a squint do their meanings appear. But you have already lost the words; you can no longer count the letters. Meaning, once held tightly in your palm, begins to melt and drip through your fingers. Do you remember what brought you here?

“through the eyes of anOther name” is an interdisciplinary art project that Miglė Markulytė has been developing over the past three years. The project explores the possibility of a posthumanist relationship with the non-human Other. Its primary aim is to cultivate a balanced relationship with an animal—one grounded in observation and care—through photography and language. As relationships are ongoing processes, the project itself continues to evolve, growing and adapting to each exhibition space it inhabits.

In the project’s first exhibition, “through the eyes of anOther name. (non)being”, the space of Marcinkonys Railway Station Gallery becomes a narrative that each visitor may read differently, illuminating their own path of attention with a flashlight. Here, the narrative emerges through parallels, through the relationship between image and language, through the effort to decipher meaning where it slips out of its skin, slides off the page, or hides around the corner. In this way, a liminal space unfolds between being and non-being, concreteness and abstraction, documentary and fiction. Scattered through the dusk, symbols enter into dialogue with images of places shown by sheep—the invisible protagonists of this story, the addressees of poetry, and perhaps even the co-creators of the exhibition.

Miglė Markulytė is an artist, cultural theorist, and art critic. Since beginning her artistic practice in 2016, she has completed a BA in Photography and Media Art at the Vilnius Academy of Arts and, in 2026, earned an MA in Literary Anthropology and Culture from Vilnius University. Her practice spans analogue photography, video, performance, and text-based art, while drawing on ideas from phenomenology and posthumanism.

The exhibition runs until 30 August. It is open on Saturdays and Sundays from 12 pm to 5 pm, or at other times by prior appointment (+370 614 16255).
