Ramune Pigagaite has been living in Germany since 1992 where she studied Photography. She concentrates on character portraits via her own personal identity. Artist returns to Varena, her native town in the south of Lithuania, to carry out her projects. Since 2000 Pigagaite has been working on a cycle People of my town. She takes photos of various people in the open air before the same white wall of the local food market. Their professions seem strange, antiquated and curios: poet, beekeeper, rat-catcher etc. In Pigagaite`s comparatively small-sized color photographs (a mere 35 by 23 centimeters in size) professional attributes are like theatrical costumes that put a man into a certain fixed role. The characters look funny because their `untouched` faces have nothing in common with the roles their attributes so vividly declare. This is an ethnographic glimpse that collects features characteristic to a certain region. People that stand before her camera are mere`representatives`(of profession, region); they do not have their history that would enable us to imagine them as real persons.
