Ibro Hasanovic		  
IMPASSE
Solo exhibition within the project "Windows upon Oceans. Berlin Wall 20 years after" organized by Apollonia / Artventure, 2009.


About:

Conceived especially for "Windows upon ocean. Berlin wall 20 years after" and Insight space, the exhibition "Impasse" by Ibro Hasanovic is gathering his oeuvre questioning identity through the notions of limits and borders.

In this exhibition, borders are considered as an impasse, a space without any exit, where the individual finds himself in an uncomfortable position. Through his statements, installations, videos and objects, Ibro Hasanovic is attempting to define his own identity, closely linked to the Balkans. Region that is fragmented, complex and marked by its history.

Works presented are, besides anything else, the reflection of a plural, progressive and multiple identity, defended by Ibro Hasanovic.
