Brilant Pireva
Brilant Pireva (1993) lives and works in Prishtina, Kosovo. As a multidisciplinary artist, he works with poetry, video, music, and digital painting to explore mythology, religion, and the phenomena of failure. Pireva’s approach incorporates everyday public life into his creative process, which often generates improvised video pieces on public space and a continuous contemporary display of still life studies and objects such as food, etc. In a similar vein, his work engages in historical references based on archive research. Pireva’s photographic works tend to explore strange, mysterious moments or elements that appear out of place: his video pieces focus on peculiarities of places and things marginal and overlooked. He is currently a program coordinator at Kino Armata, a public cinema and space in Prishtina, Kosovo, promoting alternative culture and social dialogue.
