Just three years ago, Lithuanian artist Emilija Škarnulytė was awarded the Future Generation Art Prize in Kyiv for her video installation t ½, 2019. The piece is central to her solo exhibition “Chambers of Radiance,” presented in an immersive architectural setting—designed by Linas Lapinskas—in a tall hall encircled by a balcony. The show will be on view for at least two years. As one enters the museum, several laser beams scanning up and down the staircase lead the eye toward the video installation, as if scanning every visitor’s body for data. A low, vibrating soundtrack, produced by Škarnulyte˙’s long-term collaborator Jokūbas Čižikas, draws the visitor into the room where the hypnotic t ½ is screened.
