One day in three years when the light and the temperature are just right (2021) is a drowsy observation on constructed environments and bodies positioned there. The perception of slow-paced time merges with everlasting paradise space turning into a diminished unit of existence.

The video film is continuing the artist’s ongoing research exploring loneliness and its scale — from very personal, contained in one body to the one which pervades all the universe. In this work, by observing captivity, Gedvilė focuses on  the deep desire for an emotional connection we seek in animals where …protracted stress and disappointment with our lives and relationships coincides with fantasy projections onto wild animals we see on screens according Margaret Grebowitz.

One day in three years when the light and the temperature are just right also resembles the desktop-wallpaper-videos, where the view is un-constructed, the camera is still, and the very presence of oxygen is questionable. The frames in the film connect different moments from the lives of animal persons in the zoos. The melancholy penetrates through the images of beautiful paradise-like, yet somehow odd environments, where animals turn away from the viewer, frozen in the moments of forced slowness, in the unreality of the place as such. 9 minutes of uncanny meditation, then the body observed mirrors the body of the observer/viewer merging space and time into all-inclusive boredom.
