Monika Pietaryte

I am a documentary photographer mostly working depicting social norms and challenges people face being unique. My work is based on the experience encountering post soviet mindset and dealing with leftovers in our (lithuanian) society.
Different photography series I’m working on have two ways of reaching the viewer: as mundane and recognizable, but idealised everyday life scenes or as an exotic peak into a well taled foreign land, all depends on where the viewer is coming from.

I’ve graduated photography from Vilnius Design College in 2013.

“On Cannabis” exhibited 2019 and 2022 in Vilnius.
