Publisher's description
The intimate knowledge of sand-dune formations on the Curonian Spit of Kazimieras Mizgiris (b. 1950), renowned Lithuanian photographer and amber collector, is unrivalled. After studying photography in Vilnius, he was banished to »exile« in Nida in 1974 by the Sovjet secret service. Here, he visited the annual photographic summer seminars held by Lithuania’s bestknown photographer Antanas Sutkus. And for decades, took pictures of the shifting dunes of the »Baltic Sahara« – located just outside his front door – early in the morning, primarily in spring and autumn. He captures short-lived, bizarre formations reminiscent of prehistoric creatures produced daily by wind, sand, and ice.
