About
Tringa Gashi is an artist currently living in Copenhagen. Her artistic interests are centered around class issues, desire and political structures. Growing up in Sweden during the 90’s and 00’s with Kosovo-Albanian roots, she is engaged in questions such as how political dictatorship and war affect dreams, needs and societies. Her work spans across multiple disciplines, often taking form as photography, performance, sculpture and film. Tringa holds a BFA from Malmö Art Academy and an MFA from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts.
Teasing the senses, Gashi brings together the olfactory imagination, cinematic spectacle, and commodity fetishism to explore how people’s ‘dreams of the future’, and struggles with class and sense of self under capitalist development are constructed through modes of affect and abstract meaning making.
Common Desire explores what it is that drives people’s pursuit for material status as well as how a population’s desires are materialized within a free market economy. The film is a delirious portrait of the rapidly-changing socio-economic environment of Kosovo, observing several different small businesses and shops in Prizren, and how they generate dreamlike images of prosperity and social-mobility.
