Fisnik
I went to Kosovo a long time after the end of the war.
At the very beginning, i thought, instead of putting the focus on the geopolitical dynamics or on the disasters created by the conflict, to put attention on what all the people of my age have been through. Some of them had to get weapons and fight, others cried for the lost of their relatives. Some blind from hate went to fight a war and some others left, hid themselves from that conflict.
This work simply tries to break down the linguistic barriers and those ones that dont let us open to someone stranger. So, the project becomes not only knowing something, but know something about each other through the sharing of time and getting in touch deeply with the subject.
This is the story of a young man called “Fisnik”.
