Bio : Born 1978 in Prishtina, Kosovo, the former Yugoslavia. Lives and works in Prishtina, Kosovo.
Description : A group of men sit, speak and drink in the middle of a busy crossroad. This work, being somewhere between a living tableau, is a miss-an-scene of actors, and a paradoxical installation. The artist wanted to present the indifference of the Albanian people who refuse to accept influences from outside. Such self-mindedness speaks about the weakness, but also of the strength, of a headstrong people, who won‘t give up their way of living. And it also provides a surprise towards this indifference, hedonism and the self-contentedness they enjoy, while things are going on around them. However, Rudina soon realizes that when a piece of work is born, it slips away from the control of the artist and reaches different dimensions.
