Laukinis Švelnumas (Wild Tenderness) // Karolina Ūla Valentaitė

This video is part of the exhibition Wild Tenderness, presented by interdisciplinary artist Karolina Ūla Valentaitė in 2024. The exhibition explores the intimate relationship between humans and nature, questioning the boundaries of coexistence in a world shaped by exploitation and power dynamics. Through video art, Valentaitė reimagines animistic traditions while incorporating contemporary discourses, online interactions, queer culture, and scientific perspectives. The opening event featured performances by the artist alongside writers and performers Virginija Kulvinskaitė, Ramūnas Liutkevičius, Patricija Gudeikaitė, Eglė Frank, Kristina Tamulevičiūtė, Aušra Kaziliūnaitė, Kerry Shawn Keys, and Eglė Murauskaitė, as well as sound artists Ugnė Makselytė and Tadas Greičiūnas. Sound for the video installation was created by Ugnė Makselytė
