Was just browsing through a magazine and came across interesting looking pictures by Lithuanian photographer Rimaldas Viksraitis.
Can anybody comment on his work? Maybe some members of the forum from Lithuania?
It seems there exists a book called Grimaces of the Weary Village.
Some examples:

Sorry, I've got no information, but I have to say I do find this very cool. Thanks for the introduction.
As lithuanian, I have never heard of him, but it must be because of my low/mid interest in local photography.
But here you go - some info : https://www.lensculture.com/articles/rimaldas-viksraitis-naked-grimaces-exposing-rural-lithuania#slide-2 (INTERVIEW IN ENGLISH)
Thanks for the link!
Quite some pictures to be found on the internet, but I think I will try to get the Grimaces of.. -book.
Like the book a lot, it's A4, landscape format (if that's the right word), 80 pages.

he is a relative of a guy from Skeldos. Sort of. All in all - interesting photography, interesting person (with some psychological problems etc.) and well worth attention
Interesting pics. Watching this somehow reminds me of the first part of the movie Taxidermia.
also, reminds me of the pogrom video when saw at ifots
