Forces of time, memory, change, and the human condition: Mekas recorded newscasts that played daily from 1989 to 1991 on his television set at home, as a chronological overview of Lithuania’s birth as an independent nation.
Jonas Mekas
Jonas Mekas has always filmed his everyday environment: we associate his works with New York, his beloved adopted city, with the apartments he lived in or those of his friends. But he spent much of his time in his 4-km long garden, just near his residence: Central Park.
