안리 살라

Born in 1974 in Tirana, Albania. Lives and works in Berlin, Germany. Anri Sala constructs transformative, time-based works through multiple relationships between image, architecture, and sound, employing these as elements to fold, capsize, and question experience. His works investigate ruptures in language, syntax, and music, inviting creative dislocations, which generate new interpretations of history, supplanting old fictions and narratives with less-explicit, more-nuanced dialogues. Anri Sala has been awarded a number of prizes during his career, such as the The Vincent Award, Den Haag in 2014, and the Biennale di Venezia (Young Artist Prize), Venice, in 2001, among others. Anri Sala will have an important solo exhibition at Serralves Museum in Porto in November 2026.
