2013: Foundation for a Civil Society
Majlinda Hoxha
Through a language of displacement and fragmentation, a set of objects, images and memories articulate the process of the familiar becoming unfamiliar. In her photographs, Majlinda Hoxha creates a personal environment that is sensitive to the recent political and economical situations in her home country of Kosovo. The monuments hown in the photographs demonstrate a situation that is yet to be revealed.
