Fotograf Andrew Miksys sa narodil v Seattli, no jeho rodičia pochádzali z Litvy. Prvýkrát navštívil rodnú krajinu svojich rodičov v roku 1995. V roku 1999 sa tam vrátil, aby uskutočnil svoju ročnú expedíciu.

Andrewovi stačila jedna noc v odľahlej obci, kde objavil starý nočný klub. Okamžite sa chopil príležitosti a odfotografoval niekoľko snímok nielen ľudí, ktorí sa tam bavili, ale takisto aj miesta, kde sa to všetko konalo. Miesta, kde sa totižto diskotéky či párty konajú, sú často bývalé sovietske úrady či väznice s plynovými maskami a tmavými miestnosťami, kde mladí ľudia vytvorili priestor pre tanečný parket.

Fotograf sa tak rozhodol pokračovať s týmito fotografiami nasledujúcich desať rokov. Všetky snímky tvoria jeho knihu s názvom DISKO, ktorá sa v Litve teší celkom veľkej obľube. Okrem toho si však môžete fotografie pozrieť aj na jeho sociálnych sieťach.

Andrew Miksys 2013 photobook Disko is a self-published collection of photographs from Andrew's home country Lithuania. Miksys fascination with the culture and youth of rural parts of his home country are effortlessly captured. Its a beautiful record of the cultural shift that was brought with the 21st Century and how the youth of the country expressed themselves in this time of change and possibilities. • Andrew Miksys – Disko.
