SILT. Ona Julija Lukas Steponaitytė, Ssi Saarinen, Iida Jonsson

In 2012, a lake appeared suddenly outside of Likančiai, Lithuania. The body of water is fallout from a Soviet-era drainage project that sought to make land more suitable for agriculture. With the disrepair of the artificial system, water has started to accumulate and begun to emerge unexpectedly, creating accidental landscapes.
Reethaus presents a portrait of the flood, the site-specific audiovisual installation SILT by artists Ona Julija Lukas Steponaitytė, Iida Jonsson and Ssi Saarinen. The landscape is explored by perspectives proper to the study and depiction of disasters: first-person wandering documentation, forensic diving and helicopter flyover. A polyphonic soundtrack by Alexander Iezzi — like the landscape, never settling into any particular rhythm or harmony — has been spatialied by MONOM for the Reethaus.
Jonsson, Steponaitytė and Saarinen form an artist collective based in Berlin and Vilnius. They are alumni of the Sandberg Instituut in Amsterdam. Their works have been presented at the Venice Biennale, Kunsthal Charlottenborg, and Whitechapel Gallery.
