“Seniors of Vilnius” is an ongoing photo project, narrating the stories of seniors from Lithuania (and beyond).
My grandma, rest her soul, had 20 sets of bedding sets. "Why?" I would ask. "You’ll get it when you’re older," she'd snap back. I never got the ‘why’ behind it, but I sure did grasp the vibe: the scarcity and the Soviet era instilled a sense of insecurity about the future, about basic well-being.
When you get old—keep to yourself: buy candies for the grandkids, leave the flat to your children, family will visit at Easter, don’t forget to check your blood pressure...
Finding a curious, vibrant, smiling, self-content elder is rare. Yet, sometimes, they do appear. Some even rocking a pretty cool style. Or uniquely quirky, having already had their casting call with the Coen brothers.
I’m not beautiful, but I’m the most charming lady of my age!
I got a fifteen percent discount for my funeral service. I won't leave this world without a fifty percent discount!
I had a heart attack. The hardest part during recovery was accepting help from my children—they had to teach me to read again.
Inspiring! I started photographing these rare birds five years ago. At first, timidly, crouching at the question, "Why me?"—telling an old-school sailor about expressiveness or beauty is somewhat awkward. Later on, we even flirted with the grannies, throwing shade at Gen Z.
