Adrian Paci: Waves and Gazes

The artistic practice that Adrian Paci has been developing over the last thirty years is marked by spectacular video installations whose protagonists have a presence that has few equals in the video production of recent decades. The purpose of the exhibition of paintings on the first floor which runs concurrently with that in the lower gallery in the basement, presenting The Bell Tolls Upon the Waves (2024), Adrian Paci's latest video production – is to explore the archaeology of the artist's gaze through various contexts that have shaped it, from his childhood in Shkodër, his years of study in Tirana, and his master's degree in liturgy in Milan, all the way to the present exhibition in Slovenia, a country bordering on Balkan culture.
