Photographer and visual artist Blerta Kambo has been announced as a finalist for the Circa Prize, a prestigious contemporary art award for young artists, organized by Circa Art (Cultural Institute of Radical Contemporary Arts) in Great Britain.
Blerta has been selected by a group of curators, along with 29 other artists, as finalists, in an open competition with participation from all over the world. This is the first time that an Albanian is a finalist for the Circa Prize.
Her video "Heavy Stone"/"Heavy Stone" was shown on September 3 on the big screens of Piccadilly Circus in London. The video was also shown in Berlin and in Milan, at the same local time of 20:23.
Blerta's video deals with the topic of emigration in a poetic way as video art.
It competes for two prizes, one decided by the jury (which consists of some of the most established names in contemporary art) and one voted by the public.
