About the artist

was born in Shkodër, Albania in 1969. Paci lives and works between Milan and Shkodër. Using his own experience of immigration from Albania to Italy, and stories of family and friends, Paci addresses issues such as exile, identity, memory and collective history. Paci’s body of work looks back on those tumultuous times, addressing the radical political shifts of his homeland as it transitioned away from communism to a chaotic free market economy and his subsequent experiences as an artist in exile. Using media such as video, installation, painting, and photography, Paci reflects upon an existential condition – dislocation, loss and the rediscovery of one’s origins with a sense of immediacy and irony. His investigations lead him to question the role of the artist and the true nature of the work of art, in an ongoing, subtle celebration of everyday life. Through his work, Paci inserted himself into social situations, engaging both his private and public life in an effort to discover -or recover- how we live, by creating works situated in our everyday lives, Paci reveals how our experiences are interconnected and how they are shaped by our environmental boundaries.
