Please join us for the first Magnum x FUTURES Artist Spotlight of 2026 with Visvaldas Morkevicius.
Visvaldas Morkevicius will present his latest photography project.
“Losing someone is like the sky surrendering a star, a note falling silent in a familiar tune. Everything changes, with memories lingering in the air like echoes in empty rooms. Moments resurface unexpectedly: fragments of laughter, the warmth of a touch, vivid and almost too real to be gone. Moving forward feels strange, like walking on uneven ground, each step shifting what once felt certain. You drift between shadows and light, caught between the past and the future. Something within you subtly rearranges, yet nothing feels completely whole.”
Using photography as a medium, the artist captures the emotional terrain of loss – fragmented memories, fleeting moments, and the interplay of absence and presence – creating visual echoes that explore the fragile balance between holding on and moving forward. Ultimately, the piece becomes a “letter to self of acceptance.”

About FUTURES x Magnum Artist Spotlight:
Five times a year, Magnum Learn invites a FUTURES photographer to take the spotlight in an online conversation about their artistic journey. The series connects audiences worldwide with the artist’s practice, inspirations, and the ideas behind their work. We also hope to inspire the next generation of photographers, providing them with the opportunity to connect with fellow artists. Free – Registration required |
