Memory Chapel. The Sun Above the Cabbage Field

In this site-specific installation, sculptor Andrius Erminas transforms everyday materials into symbols of memory and identity, weaving the site’s history together with personal experience. About A. Erminas bridges personal experience with an inquiry into the origins of human life: concrete casts of cabbage heads evoke the childhood myth of newborns found in a cabbage patch, while a sculptural cement disc suggests a seaside sunset. He transforms industrial materials into symbolical building blocks for his personal memory archives, inviting viewers to reflect on their own pasts, childhood memories, and subconscious images. “Human memory changes and fades,” says the artist. “Material gives it form and permanence, a work of art transforms personal recollections into signs of time.” The exhibition design connects the works with the museum environment, extending the narrative beyond the personal sphere. Sculptural pieces sit upon concrete sidewalk tiles that once paved pedestrian walkways in the town. These fragments deeply tied to the place history serve as the foundation of the exhibition. Nearby, an installation reminiscent of a stage curtain creates a striking transition from one room to another, guiding the visitor’s gaze and movement.
