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.

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.
