From February 26 until May 12th, Adrian Paci will be at the Jeu de Paume, Paris, with an exhibition that gathers extremely diverse works (videos, installations, paintings, photographs and sculptures) made since 1997 and shows the numerous interconnections that operate between these different media and means of expression. In 1997, Adrian Paci escaped violent riots in Albania to take refuge, with his family, in Italy. On his arrival in the country, he temporarily abandoned painting and sculpture in favor of video, thus exploring new cinematic languages. Along with a selection of early works (including Albanian Stories, 1997; Home to go, 2001; Piktori, 2002; Vajtojca, 2002), the exhibition Adrian Paci. Lives In Transit presents recent pieces, including The Encounter (2011), Inside the Circle (2011) and The Column (2013), a project created specifically for this show.
