Beginning in 2001, he has revisited it every three years, making one-minute silent video portraits of all its inhabitants. The six films have now been recut and recomposed as a six-channel installation. Six simultaneous incarnations of the \u0026lsquo;same\u0026rsquo; face as a metaphor for continuation. Black screens stand for the dead, the not-yet-born or the absent. 15 years in the life and development of a small community \u0026ndash; growing up and growing old, leaving and returning, thriving and declining \u0026ndash; but also of the video medium, of portraiture.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eDat \u003cem\u003ežiūra \u003c/em\u003e\u0026lsquo;kijken\u0026rsquo; betekent in het Lets is misschien geen toeval.

Vanaf 2001 heeft Žiūra het dorp om de drie jaren bezocht om er stille videoportretten van een minuut van alle inwoners te maken. Zes simultane verpersoonlijkingen van \u0026lsquo;dezelfde\u0026rsquo; gezichten dienen als metafoor voor voortgezette groei. Zwarte schermen betekenen dat iemand gestorven, nog niet geboren of afwezig is. We volgen de ontwikkeling over 15 jaren van het leven in een kleine gemeenschap \u0026ndash; opgroeien en oud worden, weggaan en terugkomen, floreren en aftakelen \u0026ndash; maar ook van het medium video en van het maken van portretten.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"fr","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eLe fait que \u003cem\u003ežiūra\u003c/em\u003e signifie \u0026laquo;\u0026nbsp;regarder\u0026nbsp;\u0026raquo; en lituanien n\u0026rsquo;est peut-\u0026ecirc;tre pas une pure co\u0026iuml;ncidence.
