September to December 2026: Agne Kison­aite, *1983, Lithuania

"In the project “Winged Motion” I explore the theme In Motion through the meta­phor of birds – as living beings and symbols of freedom, migra­tion, and trans­form­a­tion. Move­ment, for me, is a trans­ition of states, spaces, and iden­tities. During my resid­ency at Villa Sonnen­berg, I will create a kinetic install­a­tion that responds to wind, using locally found or repur­posed mater­ials such as branches, straw, metal, plastic, or e-waste. These objects, once useful, carry their own history of “move­ment” and will be trans­formed into new artistic forms. To enrich inter­cul­tural dialogue, I will integ­rate the Lithuanian craft of straw garden weaving, part of UNESCO’s Intan­gible Cultural Heritage. These fragile geometric struc­tures embody harmony and cycli­city. Suspended bird forms will emerge, gently moving with the air to create a medit­ative, ever-chan­ging compos­i­tion."

Her works move between art and indus­trial design, addressing themes of consumerism, arti­fi­cial beauty, and sustain­ab­ility. With projects in Europe, Asia, and the USA, a Guin­ness World Record, and multiple awards, she is recog­nized as a leading voice of contem­porary “Waste Art.” Since 2018, she has been a member of the Lithuanian Artists’ Union.
