Published on the occasion of Eglė Budvytytė's representation of Lithuania for its national pavilion at the 61st Venice Biennale, this book offers an overview of the artist’s interdisciplinary practice.
Foregrounding animism sings anarchy (2026), the three channel film installation commissioned for the pavilion, and with an emphasis on her recent film works, this book introduces Budvytytė's practice through film stills, lyrics and documentation of live performances to illustrate the scope of her interdisciplinary output. The voices of her collaborators and several writers have also been invited into these pages to complement and expand upon Budvytytė's artistic vision in the form of interviews, essays and poetry.
Themes of collectivity, interdependence, the more-than-human and life beyond death thread through the three films included in these pages—Songs from the Compost: Mutating Bodies, Imploding Stars (2020), Warmblooded and Earthbound (2024) and animism sings anarchy (2026). Each distinctly addresses these topics through poetic choreographies that tether the human figure to the landscape, proposing visions that challenge anthropocentrism and chronological time.
Ėglė Budvytytė (born in 1981 in Kaunas, Lithuania) lives and works in Vilnius and Amsterdam.

For decades Vleeshal is invested in the development of publications. Books published by Vleeshal are internationally appreciated for their experimental content and form. At Vleeshal, a publication is never 'merely' about documentation of a past exhibition, but rather about creating an 'extension' of an artistic project, generating meaning in the present, and thus allowing the project to live on after the exhibition.
Vleeshal publishes monographs, critical analyses, catalogues and books on artists who have exhibited at the Vleeshal. It works with international publishers and distributors, including Hatje Cantz, Walther König and Sternberg Press, to expand the reach of its independent and small-scale publications.
