Ainė Petkūnaitė (ainuksss) (b. 2000) is a visual artist based in Vilnius, Lithuania. The artist is interested in relationship between subject and its environment, intercorporeality, indefinite ductile structures, memory and immateriality of matter. Using an archaeological strategy, the artist collects (un)defined materials, modeling various speculative stories about them. A wide spectrum of media is used in creative practice – from text, sound, sculpture to videography and performance.
