Silva Agostini (b. 1979) lives and works in Berlin.
Music Requisites (2025)

Silva Agostini’s work examines the fluid interplay between historical layers and contemporary expressions, emphasizing the evolving nature of existence. For the 5th edition of the Autostrada Biennale, Agostini will adapt her performance Music Requisites, temporarily blocking a street in ITP. In this piece, the third act of Wagner’s Die Feen (The Fairies) will emanate from parked cars, transforming these industrial objects into vessels of 19th-century symbolism. The music transports us into a realm of magic, conflict, and myth, reverberating through the urban landscape.
She started her art studies in Tirana before relocating to Berlin, where she completed her education and obtained a Master’s degree from the Berlin University of the Arts. She has received the Onufri Award and has attended the TICA Residency in Tirana and the ArtHouse Residency in Shkodra. She was a founding member of the project space “Very” in Berlin.
