Piktori

2002 · 3m

"Piktori” describes how the end of the dictatorship in Albania brought about a situation where freedom and anarchy were mixed together. Among the kiosks that started to appear with signs like ”Fruits & Vegetables” and ”Bicycle repair” were also signs that said ”Painter”. In these small kiosks were produced at the same time paintings in oil, copies of work of art, slogans and false documents starting from birth certificates and ending with death certificates. Paci asks questions about the role of the artist in society, the relationship of the handcraft work and the artistic action, the difficulty today of defining the artist as such.
