Based on subjective experiences, Flaka Halitit, who was born in Pristina (Kosovo) in 1982 and lives in Munich, takes a look at our fragmented, contradictory present. Her practice focuses on the individual and the question of how identity is constructed in a globally fluid world. Her poetic and hybrid works, infused with irony, draw on the comedy of tragedy and tell of a life between different cultures, of exclusion, adaptation and being different.
Flaka Haliti uses photography, collage, everyday objects and graphic or sculptural elements to give her artistic concepts a visual form. Her works often have a decidedly spatial reference and result in expansive installations.
Flaka Haliti completed her bachelor's degree in graphic arts at the Faculty of Art at the University of Pristina between 2002 and 2006 and continued her studies at the Städelschule Frankfurt from 2008 to 2013.
The works of the 2016 Villa Romana prizewinner have been shown in numerous solo and group exhibitions, for example at the Kunsthalle Lingen, the Museum of Modern Art, Vienna (MUMOK), the Museo de Arte Contempóraneo de Castilla y Léon (MUSAC) and the ZKM Center for Art and Media, Karlsruhe. She designed the pavilion of the Republic of Kosovo at the 2015 Venice Biennale.
