Nuogo kūno teorija
Nuogo kūno teorija (Theory of a Naked Body) is a group exhibition catalogue examining how Lithuanian photographers pictured the nude body across three decades of the country's twentieth-century photography.
Edited by Donatas Stankevičius with text by Milda Kiaušaitė, the catalogue draws together black-and-white nude photographs by Lithuanian authors made from the 1960s through the early 1990s, organized around the charged relationship between photographer and model. The editor's note frames that dynamic as a tension between making an artistic image of a naked body and merely viewing one under photography's cover. Published in 2016 by Kaunas Photography Gallery in an edition of 500, the softcover volume is bilingual in Lithuanian and English and printed on Munken Lynx stock.
As a group survey rather than a single photographer's monograph, the catalogue positions individual Lithuanian nude studies within a shared, era-spanning inquiry into how the genre negotiated Soviet-era and post-Soviet attitudes toward the body.
