We are happy to share our new publication NETS by Olson Lamaj.
This photobook brings together a series of images capturing wires, metal nets, and fragmented elements typically found within the urban landscape. Removed from their everyday function, these details are reimagined as lines, textures, and structures forming a visual language where matter comes before meaning.
Through black-and-white photography, NETS transforms the city into a field of tensions and connections, where fences become drawings and cables turn into gestures.

Norwegian Blackmetal’s Albanian Cominist Imaginary
“… but at least I’ll be going to Albania soon “
A zine that reworks archival images from Albanian communist propaganda through ironic, hand-drawn interventions. Raino Isto transforms heroic socialist figures into death metal fans, imagining an alternative reality where communist Albania embraces extreme music culture.
A dark, surreal collision between ideology and underground aesthetics.

Manual of Walls by Ledia Kostandini, 2023.
The zine explores walls beyond architecture, as a psychological and emotional state. Through a series of drawings, she reconsiders walls as protection and barrier, strength and vulnerability. Walls appear as both noun and verb, something we build and something we become.
Written in the tone of a playful manual, the zine invites readers to question their own walls, as they rise and as they fall.

The exhibition unfolds as a spatial reflection on memory, materiality, and the afterlives of images emerging from the communist past into the present. Through artist books and expanded editorial practices, the works investigate how narratives are constructed, archived, and reactivated.
Supported by Swiss Cultural Fund, a project of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), implemented by the Center for Business, Technology and Leadership (CBTL)
