Raised in Albania, Anri Sala relocated to Paris, and then moved to Berlin in 2003. In a relatively short time, he developed a vision that addresses the issues of a posthistorical world with a haunting simplicity that transcends cultures and borders. With 192 Pages and 114 illustrations “Anri Sala: Answer Me” by Phaidon Publications, is a monograph is an overview of Sala’s career till 2016. His multichannel installations explore the perception of sound and images in relation to architectural spaces. Since his debut film, “Intervista (Finding the Words)” (1998), to his recent installation “The Last Resort” (2017), at Sydney’s Observatory Hill Rotunda that explore spatial and temporal manipulations of music, Anri Sala has developed a widely acclaimed multimedia practice founded in the interplay of images, sound and architectural space. Probing notions of memory and time, both personal and historical, Sala’s works engage the viewer’s awareness of being present while calling attention to the political dynamics of space.-Efi Michalarou
