Ti Do Të Humbasësh Yt Kulturën
2015
Video Performance 

           Toying with notions of cultural fetishization I embark on a resurgence to my Albanian heritage through this performance. Reciting ‘I want to speak Albanian, I am speaking Albanian” I challenge the construct of language with a nod to the arbitrary relationship to the language and me. The durational performance confronts both my limits as well as the limits of the viewer and as time passes the language and guttural sounds fade into a meditative state. ​
