about Petrit haliLaj

Petrit Halilaj (b. 1986 in Kostërrc, Kosovo) lives and works between Germany, Kosovo, and Italy. Halilaj’s work is deeply connected to the recent history of his native country Kosovo, and the consequences of the political and cultural tensions in the region. But while confronting a collective memory, his work often originates from personal experiences and is the result of an intimate process and shared moments with loved ones. His unique and sometimes irreverent way of playfully confronting the essence of reality results in a deeper reflection on memory, freedom, cultural identity, and life discoveries. He is currently a professor at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris, France, together with his partner and frequent artistic collaborator, Álvaro Urbano.
