Dusty

Conceptual artist and filmmaker Somer Şpat created a speculative art book called ‘Dusty’ on the life of an imaginary character from Prizren who lived after the Second World War. Şpat’s work is based on a meticulous investigation of personal and public archives, through which he collected and included materials such as photographs, newspaper clips and diaries.

Dusty is an artistic research project on the social significance of photographs from the 60s and 70s in Prizren and their histories.

The book is created by combining different images with the history of the city, thus blurring the boundaries between the real and fiction.

Dusty also appeared through a collage on Lumbardhi’s poster displays.

The handmade book come in limited numbers each copy of which was produced by the author.
