ZigZag, 2019
Hardcover, 32 pages, 125 x 85 mm
Offset, Edition of 100-signed copies

ZigZag by Driton Selmani represents an imaginary journey from Pristina to the providential Swiss mountains as Rodolphe Töpffer pictured them in 1844. By superposing sources, eras and places, fictions and facts, Driton Selmani creates a passport for uncertain states of being. The legal document becomes the spooky theater of political riots, including a protest held in Zurich in September 2018 against prices rising for flights to Pristina. Facts are replaced by the artist’s sharp sarcasm as he turns reality into a vast fantasy playground.
ZigZag was specifically created for the exhibition Long Distance Relationship, Geneva, Switzerland. The artwork is published in 100-signed copies by the artist. The access to obtain the copy of the artwork is reserved exclusively to the exhibition visitors.
