HD VIDEO, COLOR, SOUND, 4:08 MIN
Commissioned by TBA21–Academy with the support of Institut Kunst HGK FHNW in Basel.

As part of the third and final voyage of TBA21–Academy’s ‘The Current II’ fellowship cycle ‘Spheric Ocean: Life For Beginners’ led by Chus Martínez, the Ocean Archive debuts the film ‘Un Sogno, Un Pesce’ (2020) by Petrit Halilaj and Alvaro Urbano.

Alvaro Urbano and Petrit Halilaj collaborate on Un Sogno un Pesce, a short film in which inhabitable terrains are crossed through a leap into the dream and the impossible. In a shadowy realm, the dream of a fish curious towards a terrestrial world comes to life.

DIRECTION: Petrit Halilaj and Alvaro Urbano
MUSIC: Juan Carlos Blancas
ASSISTANT DIRECTOR: Yao Liao
EDITION: Monica Martins Nunes
Petrit Halilaj (1986, Kostërrc, Skenderaj-Kosovo, XK) and Álvaro Urbano (1983, Madrid, SP) are two visual artists based in Berlin. Both also working individually, their ongoing research together reflects on the dichotomy between built environment and nature, and on the possibilities of negotiation between these two realities: in that regard, the inhabitants that occupy these liminal spaces generates a particular interest for the two artists.
