The photography exhibition “Tribune” by Remigius Treigis

On 2024 July 11 5:30 p.m. The photography exhibition “Tribune” by Remigius Treigis opens at the Museum of Photography (Vilniaus St. 140, Šiauliai). The exhibition will run until 2024. August 25.

A tribune is an elevated platform from which opinions are typically expressed publicly, delivering a specific message to the gathered audience. The content, style, and rhetoric of the public speech can greatly differ depending on the author and/or speaker. Nonetheless, the underlying goal usually remains consistent – to persuasively convey information in a way that convinces the listener. The importance of the information to the orator is not always a given, as speeches from tribunes can serve various purposes. However, Remigijus Treigys stands apart in this context. For him, a tribune serves primarily as a means to broadcast what is most significant to him, irrespective of its impact or utility to others. Hence, he adopts a higher stance not for speculation or manipulation, but for the purpose of being heard. Treigys understands that his photographic language requires no special conditions for comprehension. It has consistently made a distinct impression across various contexts, piercing through the thickest noise. Treigys’ photography has been instantly recognizable, regardless of how he may alter or change his tools and methods. This time, however, he seeks exceptional attention and silence as he presents the essence of his work, emphasizing that every piece, whether created thirty years ago or six months ago, holds equal importance.
