For Foto Tallinn 2026, Drifts presents a selection of works by Lithuanian photographer Janina Sabaliauskaitė. The photographs were previously exhibited in her 2023 solo show, Trust, curated by Laima Kreivytė. In Sabaliauskaitė’s photographs, glances that meet on both sides of the camera establish mutual trust, support, and proximity; her work spans intimate portraits of queer people to landscapes of bodies. As Laima Kreivytė described, “the way Sabaliauskaitė looks at the earth and rocks is not sculptural, but rather mythological, emphasising the changed attitude of the Anthropocene era: whereas previously the earth meant resources, in her photographs the Earth is a deity, a planet, soil and an element. These pictures are like an encounter of the archaeo-mythology of Marija Gimbutas, the Gaia Hypothesis of James Lovelock and Lynn Margulis, and the ideas of the pioneers of ecosexuality, Beth Stephens and Annie Sprinkle, who changed land art into the love of the Earth.”

Public days: Friday – Sunday, 18 – 20 September 2026

Drifts’ participation in the fair is financed by the Lithuanian Council for Culture
