MAŽIAU GARSO - DAUGIAU ŠVIESOS |
LESS NOISE - MORE LIGHT
Daugiau nei šešiolika mėnesių vystytas gyvenant Lietuvos mieste, šalia vieno didžiausių šalies karinių poligonų, „Mažiau garso – daugiau šviesos“ tyrinėja, kaip vieta nepastebimai formuoja mūsų suvokimą, atmintį ir tapatybę. Jungianti tapybą, asambliažą ir meninį tyrimą, paroda pasakoja apie tai, kas nutinka, kai stebėjimą pakeičia dalyvavimas. Tai ne pasakojimas apie karinį poligoną, o apie tai, ką reiškia gyventi vietoje pakankamai ilgai, kad ji pradėtų keisti tave. | Developed over sixteen months of living in a Lithuanian town beside one of the country's largest military training grounds, Less Noise – More Light explores how place quietly shapes perception, memory, and identity. Combining painting, assemblage, and artistic research, the exhibition reflects on what unfolds when observation becomes participation. It is not a story about a military training ground, but about learning to inhabit a place deeply enough for it to begin changing you.
Atidarymas: 2026 m. rugpjūčio 8 d. 16.00 val.
Vieta: Dūmų fabrikas, Dūmų g. 5, Vilnius
LAIKRODIS | THE CLOCK (2026)
The short film “Clock” marks a pivotal shift in my practice: from speculative, technology-driven narratives toward a more sensitive inquiry grounded in place and human experience. Filmed in 2019, upon my return from Berlin to Griškabūdis, and completed in 2026, it unfolds as a dense visual reflection on time, loss, and the transformation of identity. This autobiographical work observes everyday life through the windows of a home, turning it into a meditation on new beginnings. The presence of Algirdas, a member of the local community, reveals subtle boundaries between what is considered “normal” and “other.” Through slow, repetitive actions, Clock approaches work as a process of forming connection and invites us to reconsider what it means to belong, how one chooses to face challenges, and where true home resides.
Dedicated to Algirdas and my brother Lukas.

Aglaja Ray is a constructed artistic name. “Aglaja” derives from the Greek Aglaia (Ἀγλαΐα), one of the Three Graces, associated with beauty, splendor, and radiant presence. “Ray” functions as both a literal and metaphoric extension - a beam of light Together, the name reflects an artistic practice concerned with revealing what is latent or unseen.
