Greta Pundzaite’s practice spans across artistic and academic contexts, and steps at the intersection of physical presence, motion-movement and disciplinary inquiry. Grounded in an early and sustained engagement with movement, her work unfolds from physicality as both source and site of creative and epistemic processes — where memory, sensation, and agency melt, regardless of the physical form in question, for flesh-like bodies and material environments alike. Her doctoral research in Arts bridged motion with neurological and phenomenological perspectives, reframing it as equivalent to physicality and synonymous with knowing, rather than transitional. Attentive to questions of hierarchy and representation, her work aims to clarify the notion of physical through exploration of its expansive, self-generating intelligence, rather than its discipline, therefore leading to an embracement and articulation of creation as a self-generating universal principle. Graduate of arts-reinforcing high school and studies of Creative Communication with additional competencies acquired in the field of Theatre in birth country, Lithuania, she also studied in the Academy of Dramatic Art in Croatia and Lisbon Theatre and Film School in Portugal. Her doctoral research (2020-2026) was affiliated with Vittorio Gallese’s Lab of Social Cognitive Neuroscience (Italy) and selected as a grant recipient by the Foundation for Science and Technology (Portugal). Her artistic trajectory, unfolding through and across performance, installation, and audiovisual practice, takes shape as an emergent process. In 2024, she, together with visual artist Enrico Gaido, founded "christiane debeaumont", a visual and performing arts–oriented production company and collaborative initiative, based in Italy with an extended framework in Portugal and Lithuania. Its formation is articulated through a critical engagement with both the processes of artistic presence and creation itself.
