Vilnius will become the Mecca of art photography for the second time.
International art photography festival “In Focus” will invite Vilnius’ citizens and guests for photographic dialogue to the galleries and public spaces. The focus of the festivals’ program – premieres of photo artists from Lithuania and abroad, workshops, photo sessions, competition program and much more. Special attention will be paid not only for professional art photography but also to the experiments of young artists; to photography as a way of thinking and seeing the world. “Boredom”.

For the first time in a joint space, works by artists exploring the “aesthetics of boredom” will be displayed at the National Art Gallery. The term, created by Dr. Agnė Narušytė, describes the photography of the last decade of the 20th century through boredom, and has affirmed itself both in artistic and academic discourse. In the exhibition, boredom is extended from Jonas Mekas to nowadays photography.
