Rytis Gervickas has been immersed in the art of photography for over 15 years, dedicated to capturing moments through analog tools. Choosing to work exclusively with analog equipment, he finds solace in the tactile nature of the process. Developing his own film and meticulously crafting gelatin silver prints in his modest darkroom, he revels in the hands-on experience of bringing his images to life.
In his photographic journey, he draws inspiration from renowned Lithuanian photographers such as Vytautas Balcytis, Remigijus Treigys, and Alfonsas Budvytis. These artists are known for their ability to capture the "aesthetics of boredom," finding beauty and intrigue in the overlooked and mundane. Inspired by their approach, he seeks to train his lens on subjects that often go unnoticed by the average observer. By framing and isolating these fragments of the world, he aims to transform them through the alchemy of film, paper, and chemicals.
