Roko maršai fotografijoje: Roko subkultūra ir simbolinė politinių permainų reprezentacija
Rock Marches in Photography: Rock Subculture and Symbolic Representation of Political Changes

Summary/Abstract: The period of Reform Movement of Lithuania (1988–1990) is established in institutional and collective memory of Lithuanian society by the photographs of important political events. However, only a few photographs of Rock March music festivals (an important part of Reform Movement) are published in the albums dedicated to these historical events, although their symbolic importance is equal to the pictures of political events. The paper discusses Virgilijus Usinavičius-Augulis’ photographs of Rock March in years 1987 and 1988. Some of the photographs have never been published before. They are analyzed from anthropologic perspective in the wider context of historical development of rock subculture in Lithuania. So far author’s works have reflected the development of rock music in Lithuania more than general political changes of 1990’s due to its limited public dissemination. However, the content and the visual form of the author’s photographs correspond to the features of photography, which has a potential to symbolically represent political changes.
