Common Desire
(2024)
Svane Køkkenet 28.11.2025-28.12.2025
´LIVE 16:00–22:00
Description
Common Desire (2024) drifts dreamlike through a retail district in Prizren, Kosovo. Filmed from a first-person perspective, the setting shifts between mall-like interiors, jewelry repair shops, and ‘bootleg’ perfumeries mirroring the aesthetics of high-end global department stores. Glancing across goods and displays, the work spins the viewer into soft orbits of disorientation and desire, tracing how luxury is performed on an everyday, consumer-level within the rapidly changing economy of Kosovo, the ‘youngest country in Europe’.

About the artist(s)
Tringa Gashi (b.1996) and Andita Shabanaj (b.1995) are artists educated at The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. Together, they explore how individual dreams, collective memory and material desire take shape in contemporary visual culture; how emotions become tied to the ideals and images that define everyday life. Focusing on the creation of images and their emotional impact, they use video and photography to unfold the sensory layers from which meaning emerges. Their works dwell within commercial aesthetics, inviting immersion into the sensory experience where images begin to dissolve, for example into an urban space, and reappear on a personal level as embodied perception.
