Dammi i colori

Taller Siete, Medellin

Taller Siete is proud to announce the group exhibition “Dammi i Colori”, with the participating artists: Alban Hajdinaj, Anri Sala, Gentian Shkurti and Fani Zguro.

“Dammi i Colori” is a video documentary made by the Albanian artist Anri Sala in collaboration with Mayor Edi Rama. This documentary touches on the basic changes that have happened in Tirana after the coming to power of Rama, the new mayor.

After this documentary was made the artists Alban Hajdinaj, Gentian Shkurti and Fani Zguro each filmed a short video based on this theme, presenting different transformations of Tirana. Their videos “Eye to Eye”, “Color Blind” and “Street by Street” are visions against the backdrop of a ‘new’ city, inherant with the ‘old’ problems of Albanian society.

A sole juridicial force like Edi Rama is not enough for radical change. Despite his initiatives, Tirana suffers from corruption within the state apparatus, the incriminated mentality of the society and miserable poverty. The videos of “Dammi i Colori” deal precisely with these dilemmas and in order that these problems be released from the situation that creates them.

The project “Dammi i Colori” presents, simultaneously, two Albanian personalities such as Edi Rama and Anri Sala as metaphors of an effort for change in a town where change is measured by exchange rates and every synonym of this change, related to art, is seen as a time consuming investigation. We find this inconvenience in the videos made by the participating artists.
