Original photography by Steve McCurry; Installation by Jolita Vaitkute and Emilija Vinzanovaite
Prospective work made of 15 kg of apricots, 8 kg of plums, 6 kg of nectarines, 7 kg of cherries, 1
kg of blueberries, 2 kg of lettuce, depicting the famous Afghani girl war refugee, captured by
photographer Steve McCurry. All food products were donated to charity organization "Maisto
bankas" (Lithuanian for "Bank of Food").
Living in developed countries, we can easily purchase a variety of food even one that is naturally
grown elsewhere.But there are millions of poor people in the world i.e. inhabintants of
underdeveloped countries, the ones living in agriculture unfavorable climatic areas, and war
refugees.All these people can't access food that easily. By choosing the popular photo "Afghan
Girl" by photographer Steve McCurry (this photo captured in 1984 depicts an Afghani girl who
lived in Pakistan as a refugee during the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan at the time), we would
like to point out that, seeing the abundant variety of food on our counters and at homes, we
should not lose sight of those who currently live in poverty and can't enjoy these things.
All food used to make Afghan girl was given for Food bank Lithuania.
Big thanks for Armas Rudaitis, Pigstar visuals, LRT.
