installation project by Bekim Hasaj, 2025-Present

The installation consists of hundreds of cubes, and as many pictures on their six sides — photographs and painting of patterns, details, moments... of everything. 'Everything' which practically cancels the image itself, its singularity, becoming part of a whole.

The public can interact with the cubes, moving and arranging them as they wish in the space.

The cubes are mostly made of cardboard covered with canvas, but can also include wood and metal. The images on the six faces of each cube are manually transferred prints, or glued and painted.

The work was conceived for the Ardhje Award 2025 and was presented for the first time at the exhibition of the four finalists at Zeta Gallery in Tirana, in October 2025.

´My pictures, presented in random order, invite the viewer’s response. In an allegorical way, they are welcomed to enter my house of images. As their host, I make them feel at home by showing this set of visual cubes, and in response, I accept their choices as an answer.

Their choices to act and change the disposition of these images, but also their reflective thinking scattered by them.

What is an image? How does it represent an object, a thing?! Is it real, original, and authentic to the objects it represents? What happens when this set of 1800 images is put together? Do they, as a whole, convey something to the viewer?

What if the order of cubes is changed again and again? Do you see it as a figure, a shape, a movement, or as an abstract image? What lies underneath the singular appearance? Do you see a pattern? Tell me about it? I genuinely don’t know…´
