Petrit Halilaj presents his first major institutional solo exhibition in Berlin at Hamburger Bahnhof – Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart. In addition to sculptures, installations and a video, new site-specific works are showcased. At the heart of the exhibition is the artist’s first opera, which explores the potential of collective dreaming to bring forth emancipatory worlds. The Berlin-based artist Petrit Halilaj creates complex works that provide space for freedom, lon­ging, intimacy and identity. His art is deeply connected to the history of his home country, Kosovo, and the cultural and political tensions in the region. This is the fourteenth in a series of publications accompanying solo exhibitions of contemporary artists at Hamburger Bahnhof – Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart. In addition to exhibition views and images of artworks, it comprises a curato­rial introduction by Catherine Nichols, an extensive interview by Amy Zion with Petrit Halilaj as well as an essay by Lura Limani.
