This performative video explores themes of dislocation, memory, and identity, inspired by the artist's experiences of being situated in different countries. Four red dots on the wall mark places that were once his home, serving as reference points for a repetitive action – scratching lines into the surface and filling them again. As marks are inscribed and erased, the wall becomes a site of transformation, where presence and absence coexist. Though filled, the lines never entirely disappear, mirroring the lasting imprints of personal history.

Performativni video raziskuje tematike dislokacije, spomina in identitete, ki so jih navdihnile umetnikove izkušnje bivanja v različnih državah. Štiri rdeče pike na steni označujejo kraje, ki so nekoč bili njegov dom, in služijo kot referenčne točke za ponavljajoča se dejanja – vrezovanje linij na površino in nato njihovo brisanje. Ko se linije vrezujejo in izbrisujejo, postane stena mesto transformacije, kjer sobivata prisotnost in odsotnost. Čeprav se linije znova in znova brišejo, pa nikdar povsem ne izginejo; so trajni odtisi osebne zgodovine.

Armando Duçellari, rojen leta 1990 v Draču v Albaniji, je vizualni umetnik, ki živi in ​​dela med Tirano v Albaniji in Bremnom v Nemčiji. Študiral je multimedijske umetnosti na Univerzi za arhitekturo IUAV v Benetkah v Italiji in likovno umetnost na Akademiji za umetnost v Bremnu v Nemčiji. Njegova umetniška praksa raziskuje vzajemno delovanje med prostorom in časom z uporabo medijev, kot so fotografija, stop-motion animacija, video, instalacije in performans. Duçellari se osredotoča na repeticijo in delo ter preučuje, kako se razvijajo vsakodnevna dejanja in situacije, pri čemer je pozoren predvsem na njihove pogosto neopažene vidike.
