This work is part of a series originating in a reflection on the representation of a collective male funeral ritual practiced in northern Albania, entitled Gjama. After a first series of paintings presented as part of the Kiefer Hablitzel & Göhner Prize 2022, and a second iteration for a solo exhibition at Mayday, Anjesa Dellova continues her exploration of lamentations.
In this third series, she no longer attempts to depict this funerary ritual alone. The seventeen canvases are a deeper reflection: What does it mean to lament, and who do we lament? Who do we address when we lament? A dead person? A
people? The whole world? How do we represent suffering? What form does pain take?
