Artist Statement:
Artistic statement
Like a film fragment standing
daily before our eyes, a film
where we feel being at the
same time viewers and actors,
Albania of the years 2000 is
obsessed by a consumerist
fever, from the beginning of
another system of references,
which nevertheless, unable to
substitute entirely the old
one and matching everyday with
him, is aiming to reach a much
dreamed Eldorado.
We experience around us a
strong loging for consume, a
loging which gradually is
transforming our psyche and
our system of values, but that
nevertheless hasn’t been able
to reach the essence of what
is original, “exotic”,
interesting and sincere. These
are moments that I see
everyday, people that I know,
people living the everyday
poetic and prosaic moments of
existence, people anonymous
and real in the capitalist
Albania of the years 2000.
We participate in this
fairytale since fifteen years,
with absurd scenes,
tragicomic, kind and painful,
grotesques and unique, which
at the same time are the
features of the new Albanian
identity of these last years.
Witnessing everyday this
transformation is difficult
not to be stimulated by these
signals which are found
everywhere, you can’t keep
yourself by turning the head
