Adrian Pacis work is strongly informed both by his own experiences and by social and political occurrences in his native Albania. It integrates social reality into visions of everyday reality in which, according to museum directors Paulette Gagnon and Marta Gili, fragments of life come up against universality, always on a rigorous and equal footing. Published on the occasion of the eponymous exhibition co-produced by the Jeu de Paume, Paris, and the Musée dart contemporain de Montréal, this engaging catalogue presents a comprehensive look at Pacis oeuvre, an interview with the artist, and critical texts by Edna Moshenson, Edi Muka, and others.

In 1999, at the age of 30, Adrian Paci was among the first artists to represent Albania at the Venice Biennale, this book documents his creative path, from that first international exposure back to Ljubljana's Manifesta and on to shows in Sweden, Italy and Germany, before, in 2005, his return to the Venice Biennale and a solo exhibition at New York's P.S.1. Through videos, drawings and photographs, Paci's work portrays a country in which people--old, exhausted, overwhelmed by domestic worries and traditions--retain, at some cost, a familiar world that protects as it suffocates and isolates. Scenes from the everyday lives of the artist and his family and friends also show the building of new communities, communities that negotiate the ground between a new nomadic life and that dark stability.
