“En aquesta obra he documentat la situació actual de sis repúbliques sense reconeixement, aportant un testimoni més personal a les històries estratificades d’aquestes entitats oblidades. Es tracta d’un tema complex en el qual intervenen actors internacionals l’enfocament actiu/passiu i vertical determina com segueixen coexistint aquestes entitats. He recopilat les històries de gent el drama col·lectiu no es limita a l’empremta que els deixa la seva experiència bèl·lica, sinó també aquella que roman en els edificis i paisatges que segueixen presenciant les restes del passat.” Vangjush Vellahu

Vellahu is a visual artist working with video, prints, objects and archives with the focus on different forms of storytelling particular to specific communities; exploring how collective memories of authoritarian regimes are produced and remembered by communities affected by them.
His works intertwine urban histories of entities that from an ideological and political stand point remain on the margins of recognition. His travels often take a shape of journal-like reconfigurations that attempt at re-defining the popular understanding of what borders, territories or geographies represent today.
