VILNIUS - Photographs of Old Town (UTI)

VILNIUS - Photographs of Old Town

by: Kestutis Stoskus

Vilnius - Photos of Old Town, is the title of an exhibition of photographer Lithuanian Kestutis Stoskus and is shown in the Gallery of Photography (Dublin), and takes place from 3 -15 October. Kestutis Stoskus was born in the village of Dudlaukis, Jurbarkas District, in 1951. His photographs were used to illustrate art albuns, museum guides exhibition catalogues, art calendars and others publications. 

I prefer the Vilnius photo exhibition because the way that Kestutis taken him pictures show how the cities are always change, and it’s doesn’t depend only the people, the cities are always change about the sunny light and how someone look at the same building, but specifically the way that the photographer took these pictures show the melancholy and the bucolic about the city, aspects which intensify with the perspectives and colors of photos. The exhibition shows to us 44 black and white photographers about the old town, these images portray the many styles of architecture in the city (gothic, renaissance and baroque).

“Thanks to him we can perceive the architectural ensembles of Vilnius in their entirety and notice abundant detaisl. Together with the photographer we become observers and “experience” architecture as a unique work of art.”

That’s why I preferred Vilnius.
