The short film “Clock” marks a pivotal shift in my practice: from speculative, technology-driven narratives toward a more sensitive inquiry grounded in place and human experience. Filmed in 2019, upon my return from Berlin to Griškabūdis, and completed in 2026, it unfolds as a dense visual reflection on time, loss, and the transformation of identity. This autobiographical work observes everyday life through the windows of a home, turning it into a meditation on new beginnings. The presence of Algirdas, a member of the local community, reveals subtle boundaries between what is considered “normal” and “other.” Through slow, repetitive actions, Clock approaches work as a process of forming connection and invites us to reconsider what it means to belong, how one chooses to face challenges, and where true home resides.

Dedicated to Algirdas and my brother Lukas.
