Tomas Sinkevičius and Viltė Bražiūnaitė have been working together since 2014. Artist duo make work on the interlinked subjects of late capitalist consumption and climate anxiety in a world full of planetary shifts. With attention to the numerous possibilities of digital culture, the artists adapt multiple technologies to shed light on the ongoing destruction of our environment by anthropogenic pollution.
Whether through films, photographs, sculpture and installations, Bražiūnaitė and Sinkevičius show how deeply, and irrevocably, our dependence on and manipulation of life-forms have altered planetary life today. In making their work, the artists point to the necessity for a deep rooted ethico-political reinvention of life that would require systemic change beyond mangled technological fixes.
