The work presented in the exhibition explores the challenges of contemporary heritage conservation in Lithuania. Many buildings with evident cultural value remain absent from the national register of cultural heritage. As a result, they are often demolished or irresponsibly renovated—not necessarily because they lack value, but because they have simply never been evaluated.

​

This societal passivity, shaped by forces of indifference and inertia, prevents the preservation not only of architectural heritage but also of socio-cultural distinctions. Eglė focuses on postmodern architecture and public spaces, initiating a form of inventory and offering a critical perspective. She documents postmodern architecture and socio-cultural traces in public spaces across Lithuania that have already disappeared, remain standing but abandoned, or have been transformed.

​

The designation of heritage is shaped by shifting criteria and changing political and cultural forces. In response, Razumaitė proposes a stance of radical tolerance. Introduced by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, the concept refers to molecular forms of politics—the realm of beliefs and desires that enables activism and the emergence of new autonomous spaces beyond dominant representations of the urban image.

​

As the state becomes increasingly disengaged from heritage processes, public awareness and non-governmental initiatives grow crucial for protecting not only late modernist and postmodern architecture but also public spaces, monuments, and other elements of the urban landscape. These elements may, in turn, shape future scenarios of national identity.

The work explores these issues through photographic collage, video installation, and open discussion.
