Indrė Rybakovaitė, the winner of the "Zabolis Art Prize'24," explores the concept of the uncanny in her painting series “Places of Change.” This project delves into the unsettling psychological condition described by the German term "Unheimliche," which evokes feelings of uncertainty and anxiety about one's reality and experiences. Through her research, Rybakovaitė visited approximately twenty diverse locations over three years, including war and military history museums, memorial sites, and places of memory. Her work captures the complex atmospheres of these spaces, influenced by intangible factors like genius loci, weather, and personal stories, as well as more identifiable elements such as aesthetic codes and the role of museums in constructing narratives. Rybakovaitė's aim is to depict the rich atmospheres and quiet anxieties of our times, creating a profound connection between the viewer and the nuanced experience of the uncanny. Her education includes studies at the National M. K. Čiurlionis School of Arts, Vilnius Academy of Arts, Stuttgart State Academy of Art and Design, and Dresden University of Fine Arts. Her work has been featured in numerous exhibitions across Europe, highlighting her as a significant emerging artist in contemporary art.
