Lorik Sylejmani
Born 1972 in Prishtina, Kosovo. Visual Artist.
My art is a reflection but also a collective chromacy which includes an urban culture inside which a phenomenon of a specific communication in the dance sessions of a techno neosphere happens. This communication achieves total harmony during which sounds are converted into colors. This reflection is a reproduction of a simulative communication where vibrations, sounds, and colors create a self – communication of a higher level than common communicative language, which is today only a simple program that does not suit, and is not enough for urban neosphere.
Author of documentaries about Glastonbury Festival in UK, Venice Biennale in Italy, six documentaries about Japan, ‘Japan – the land of raising sun’, a documentary about Laurie Anderson and avantguarde Slovenian band, Laibach.
Lorik Sylejmani has participated in several exhibitions in Kosovo, Italy, United Kingdom, USA, Russia, France, Argentina, Belgium and Albania.
Currently works as a professor of History of design and branding.
