INTRODUCTION

Orestia Kapidani comes from Albania, a country we hardly know about, that we hardly learned about, which is hardly visited.
The visual space, that opens up to us, that the photographer opens up for us, seem to be strangely familiar. This reality, on the inside and the outside, own and foreign brought to a cool vibrant tension that pauses and fascinates the viewer. Here we have someone that has something to say, by showing us and by the way she is showing us.
