Paulina Pukytė is an interdisciplinary artist, writer, curator and critic. She teaches at the Vilnius Academy of Arts.
She makes site-specific installations, public space interventions, conceptual projects, moving image and text-based performances. Using found artefacts, chance and strategies of appropriation, recycling, and unwitting participation, she deconstructs socio-ideological myths and socio-cultural clichés, explores collisions between loss, memory and history, tensions between uncertainty, perception and manipulation. She is interested in the ‘unimportant’, and in various glitches, such as mistake, misunderstanding, and failure, that speak of absurdity, humour and tragedy of human condition.
She also writes experimental literature, poetry and plays, as well as critical and satirical essays on cultural issues. She has published five books.
