Acrylic paint on used truck tarpaulin
245 × 492 cm
With a large painting in the middle of the sunbathing space, Neda Naujokaitė invites bathers to look more closely: stretched between two trees is a huge used truck tarpaulin. Painted on it are the shadows of trees. Recast seems to change depending on the time of day and the weather: in the outdoor pool, the real shadows overlap with the painted ones.
About the artist
Neda Naujokaitė (she/her), born in 2000, lives and works in Berlin (DE). In her practice, which includes painting and moving image, Naujokaitė investigates how visual fragments evoke memories of times and places — both for the individual and for a group. Her works were recently shown at Galerie Meno Parkas (Kaunas, LTU) and Sophie-Gips-Höfe (Berlin, DE). Naujokaitė is part of the Berlin project space Neun Kelche. In 2025, she was part of the TROPEZ team as an assistant curator.
Neda Naujokaitė bezieht sich auf Amelia Winger-Bearskins Installation Water/Sky (2024). Mit Spiegeln in Wolkenform thematisierte sie inmitten des unbeschwerten Freibadalltags die weltweit zunehmende Wasserknappheit. Auch Recast lässt sich von der Idylle des Bades berühren und bringt dabei still etwas mit, was sonst unsichtbar bleibt: die Spuren globaler Warenströme, eingeschrieben in ein alltägliches Material, das von Bewegung, Witterungseinflüssen und Abgasen gezeichnet ist.
Neda Naujokaitė refers to Amelia Winger-Bearskin’s installation Water/Sky (2024). With cloud-shaped mirrors, she addressed the growing global water shortage in the midst of the carefree everyday life of the outdoor pool. Recast, too, lets itself be touched by the idyll of the pool, while quietly bringing along something that usually remains invisible: the traces of global commodity flows, inscribed into an everyday material marked by movement, weathering, and exhaust fumes.
