A video installation by Albanian artist Driant Zeneli will be displayed in the Kvadrat 500 building of Sofia's National Gallery from February 5 to March 29. It approaches uncertainty not as a lack or failure, but as an active position and a space for imagination. The exhibition is fittingly entitled “If I Don’t Know What Will Happen Tomorrow, It Could Be Wonderful,” the National Gallery said on Friday.

The show brings together four video works produced between 2011 and 2023, each originating from a different trilogy in the artist’s practice. Zeneli’s films unfold within industrial ruins, modernist architecture and sites marked by interrupted utopias and historical weight.

The project is curated by Martina Yordanova and Vasil Vladimirov. BTA is a media partner for the event.

Driant Zeneli (b. 1983, Shkoder, Albania) lives and works between Turin in Italy and Tirana in Albania. He represented his home country at the Venice Biennale of Art in 2011 within a group exhibition and in 2019 with a solo presentation. His work has been presented at major international institutions and biennials, including: MSU – Museum of Contemporary Art, Zagreb; EMST – National Museum of Contemporary Art, Athens; Sharjah Biennial; Bienal de La Habana; MAXXI, Rome; Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt; Manifesta 14, Pristina; Centre Pompidou, Paris; MuCEM, Marseille; and ZKM, Karlsruhe.
