Sislej Xhafa’s first exhibition in Kosovo, Love You Without Knowing, is a declaration of love from the artist to his homeland, to its fragility, strength, vitality and violence. It comprises about 15 works, spanning his itinerary from the 1990s through the present, which are flexible enough to lend themselves to the possibilities of a reenactment. The process of revivification of the works is a way for the artist to reconsider his native country not from the outside by importing objects and works already produced and finished, but on the contrary, to rethink the artistic experience from the inside by producing the works of the exhibition on site with local people.
