"Dren Maliqi explores images that display the tensions of a world triumfantly taken over by liberalism and individualism, but a world that is still strongly influenced by the legacy of colectivist ideologies and institutions. He affirms the creative powers of the indvidual and his ego (in his work titled „As“ he courageously portraits Christ, Mohammed, Albanian national hero Skenderbeu, etc, with his own face!), while at the same time he records the yielding fatalities that threaten the individual by eliminating and annihilating his freedom."

MANUEL SCHMALSTIEG
*1976, lives and work in Geneva, Switzerland
Manuel Schmalstieg operates on the borderline between video, performance and software art.

video. Through his performances and installations, he explores issues of surveillance, control and censorship, confronting the viewer with uncomfortable truths and concealed motivations.
