The installation ‹Burning Bridges› was first shown in Riehen (near Basel) at the exhibition ‹Concrete in Common› (2012). It is a reproduction of an Albanian living room during the dictatorship. The furniture was designed and manufactured in the ‹Misto Mame› furniture factory, the principal furniture manufacturer during the period of totalitarian government in Albania. This furniture was the only type of furniture in the urban milieu. The typical signs of the time are visible - the omnipresent sideboard, the armchairs, the settee. The bookshelf resembles a political library, including books by and on the communist dictator Enver Hoxha, the leader of the Party of Labour of Albania - and on the wall, in between various handicrafts, a portrait of the dictator himself.
