A Womb of Things to Be and a Tomb of Things That Were
With Eglė Budvytytė & Espace Aygo
10/10/2026 – 10/01/2027
Budvytytė’s moving-image work, with its focus on the body’s entanglement with other forms of life, meets Espace Aygo’s large-scale installation, where human-made structures begin to lose their vertical stability. The exhibition asks what becomes possible when the impulse to build, grow and look upward falters and gives way to horizontality and other forms of mutual dependence.
In Budvytytė’s films, this fluidity between past and future is expressed through the human body losing its separateness. As protagonists sink into forests and descend into clay deposits, they enter a process of decay and decomposition, simultaneously becoming enmeshed with wider ecological and communal systems. Espace Aygo’s collapsed architectural structures challenge vertical monumentality and instead offer something closer to a ground, a support, and a place for gathering, extending beyond the Kunsthal’s usual confines, out into the open.
