Eglė Tamulytė (Aglaja Ray) is a Lithuanian interdisciplinary artist working across painting, video, installation, and participatory practices. Her work unfolds between local and international contexts, with over 70 exhibitions presented across Europe, the United States, and beyond.
Her recent practice investigates the subtle infrastructures of everyday life — rest, emotional states, relational dynamics, and the search for belonging — engaging with what is often overlooked, peripheral, or culturally invisible. Moving between intimate and collective narratives, she creates environments and situations that invite reflection, participation, and the emergence of shared meaning.
Her approach is research-based and process-driven, often developing through long-term, context-sensitive projects. Rather than adhering to a fixed medium, each inquiry determines its own form, ranging from painting and moving image to spatial installations and participatory formats. While her earlier work engaged with transhumanism, speculative futures, and techno-theological inquiry, her recent projects turn toward the immediacy of lived experience — exploring the relationships between interiority, environment, and community.
Working at the intersection of personal and collective realities, Tamulytė examines how identity, belief, and emotional states are shaped by place, social structures, and temporal conditions. Drawing on both autobiographical material and situated contexts, she explores often intangible dimensions of experience — stillness, transition, and inner transformation.
Positioned within contemporary art discourse, her practice engages with questions of post-digital embodiment, situated knowledge, and evolving forms of artistic authorship. Moving beyond object-based production, she emphasizes the creation of experiences, relationships, and shared contexts. Through this approach, her work foregrounds embodiment and locality, reactivating everyday experience as a site of meaning and offering a counterpoint to dominant narratives of acceleration, abstraction, and disconnection.
