Berta Tilmantaitė

Having traveled and worked in five continents and more than 60 countries, Berta has developed her unique ways of finding stories and sharing them with the audience. Using her freediving skills, Berta looks for stories underwater as well as on land. Her work revolves around the connection between human beings and nature, also social problems, psychology, and culture. “Storytelling through different mediums allows me to enable my sensitivity. It is a tool to talk about what is interesting or disturbing. Through the connection I form with my subjects, the heroes of the stories, I can begin to better understand the principles of how the world works, see connections and get to know humanity.
Discovering the best way and form to share it with others is also an important part of that process, as growth and change happen collectively,” says Berta. She likes to collaborate with artists from different fields to create work that has many layers and invites to explore complex processes and states of consciousness.
