Flaka Haliti

Flaka Haliti’s artistic practice includes mixed media, sculpture and spatial installation with a decidedly site-specific approach. Appropriation and re-arrangement are continuous lines in her works, whereby new aesthetic patterns are created. Haliti emphasizes altered perceptions on a visual level, as well as in conceptual methods to engage in political reflections and geopolitical preoccupations. Mediated by the sensory and by visual fields, territorial boundaries and powers such as national borders or the dispositions of associations like the UN or the European Union, are brought to negotiation. Importantly, her works steadily confront languages of identity in order to transcend its categorizations of gender or nationality. Occupying in-between states, Haliti furthermore challenges humanist perspectives and its authority over representation and abstraction.
