| book description |

This exploration of Petrit Halilajâ€™s site-specific installation reflects the artistâ€™s personal experience as a refugee of war and the universal hopes and fears captured in childrenâ€™s drawings Â Kosovar artist Petrit Halilaj (born 1986, KostÃ«rc, former Yugoslavia) creates complex, immersive installations that claim space for freedom, desire, intimacy, and identity while expressing his wish to alter the course of personal and collective histories. In his first major outdoor installation, the artist reflects on his experience as a refugee and explores the intersection of reality and fantasy through the rich world of childrenâ€™s drawings. This volume examines Halilajâ€™s inspiration for the work in found inscriptions, carvings, and scribbles collected from desks at his former primary school and other schools in Eastern Europeâ€”a record of young peopleâ€™s fantasies, fears, and private messages conveyed in many languages. An interview with Halilaj connects his practice with those of artists such as Louise Bourgeois and Julio GonzÃ¡lez, situates this project within his broader career, and considers how memory, identity, and history present in his work. This publication reveals his new installation to be at once a story of children in a time and place marked by social and political conflict and a universal reflection on youthful imagination, hopes, yearnings, anxieties, and dreams. Published by The Metropolitan Museum of Art/Distributed by Yale University Press Exhibition schedule: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (April 30â€“October 27, 2024) Â
