Twenty-Seven Flashbacks

  • Photographer
    Regina Šulskytė, Lithuania

A series is dedicated to the memory of the deceased mother. 27 is related to specific stages of the mother’s life. The number 27 also signifies a number of photographs in the present series. The impression of the series of images is highlighted through the clothes worn by the mother, the clothes which are particularly main inspirations of the flashbacks. They have become a link between what existed in the past and what is in the present. It is a visual language about losses and memory. “Twenty-Seven Flashbacks” is a specific outcome of my new contemplations.

I am the member of the Lithuanian Photographers Association since 1995. The most important series: "Interpretations", "My Clothes", "In the Bedroom", "Sisters", "My Time", " Twenty-Seven Flashbacks" and ect. In the series of photographs are developed the questions of everyday cognition, memory, personal experience, identity and self-reflection.
I have worked at the Museum of Photography since 1986 until 2000. Later, I started working at Šiauliai University in the Department of Audiovisual Arts, teaching theoretical and practical photography disciplines. I am currently independent artist.
