«En esta obra he documentado la situación actual de seis repúblicas sin reconocimiento, aportando un testimonio más personal a las historias estratificadas de estas entidades olvidadas. Se trata de un tema complejo en el que intervienen actores internacionales cuyo enfoque activo/pasivo y vertical determina cómo siguen coexistiendo estas entidades. He recopilado las historias de gente cuyo drama colectivo no se limita a la impronta que les deja su experiencia bélica, sino también aquella que permanece en los edificios y paisajes que siguen presenciando los restos del pasado.»       Vangjush Vellahu

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.
