Anri Sala, born in 1974 in Albania, studied at the Albanian Academy of Arts from 1992 to 1996. He later pursued video at the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris and film directing at Le Fresnoy – Studio National des Arts Contemporains in Tourcoing. Sala currently lives and works in Paris.
Working primarily with moving image, Sala constructs transformative, time-based works by forging multiple relationships between image, architecture, and sound. He employs these elements as tools to fold, subvert, and question lived experience itself. His works investigate ruptures in language, syntax, and music, inviting viewers into a creative dislocation that generates new interpretations of history—replacing older fictions and narratives with more nuanced and understated dialogues.
