The exhibition will consist of drawings, sculptures and wallpapers, which unfold in the gallery’s spaces with no break in continuity, bringing the atmosphere of his office in Tirana to Florence, and ends with the projection of the video produced by Anri Sala in 2000 to testify Tirana’s great renewal project promoted by his close friend, Edi Rama. Through these works, one feels how Rama blends his aspects as an artist and as a politician, dilating his art to the political reality, reaching a point in which these two fields have become indiscernible for him. In fact, he has stated how he continues to paint during meetings or work calls and how, at the same time, this acts as a method of concentration and abstraction.
