Škarnulytė Transforms Lokremise into Immersive Cosmic Landscape

At Kunstmuseum St.Gallen Lokremise, Emilija Škarnulytė presents an exhibition that immerses visitors in a surreal atmosphere through the use of film, light, and sculpture. This showcase merges elements of science, fiction, and art within a cosmic setting, placing the audience between current technological realities and an uncertain future. Škarnulytė examines locations where technological aspirations, political narratives, and planetary timelines intersect. A significant focus is the disused Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant in Lithuania, a counterpart to Chernobyl, where she captured footage. In its deserted control room, a python elegantly moves across the control panel, creating a striking image that highlights the fusion of nature and technology. The exhibition is currently displayed at Kunstmuseum St.Gallen Lokremise.
