Applying a sophisticated and sensitive approach to his photography which unifies a diverse range of subjects.
About ‘F(L)IGHT’ – words by Deividas Buivydas:
‘F(L)IGHT’ is a personal and thoughtful reflection on the current state of the UK and the EU. Boston (UK) is an example of the impact of the reaction against the EU’s rules on freedom of movement and the different communities it affects: the “local” and the “migrant”.
Boston registered the highest Leave vote in Britain, at 75.6 percent. It has been dubbed ‘the capital of Brexit’. But even before the referendum, Boston held a reputation as the UK’s most anti-EU town, due to growing tensions about the increasing number of immigrants settling there, from “new” EU countries.
The project could almost be considered an anthropological study – it finely touches the subjects of migration and the sense of belonging, losing one’s roots, cultural heritage, and connections with loved ones.
