Since 2007, she works in Lithuania and Germany, she participates in, curates and co-curates projects and exhibitions. Her work The 7th Declension explores how linguistic communication is embedded in complex political and social alignments and misalignments in Eastern Ukraine through the medium of a ‘film-in-space.’ The current interest of the artist notably concerns the way in which language both shapes politics and is exploited for political means.
