EmoTECH CRYSIS 1.0 is an instllation by Zgjim Elshani’s (Aarau, Kosovo, 1990). Facing the end of the world in the age of communication technology, the feelings of loneliness, alienation, and isolation have become deeply internalized by Elshani’s generation. By recovering the Gjama, an ancient and nearly forgotten Albanian mourning ritual with collective grieving at its core, this audio-visual installation aims to counter this mode of existence while creating a space for reflection upon, and re-interpretation of, collective emotive experiences.
