Last Friday, Autostrada Hangar hosted the launch of “This is a Mirror” an art book by Likana Cana and the exhibition curated by Artrit Bytyqi and produced by Autostrada Biennale. The night began with a conversation between Likana and Artrit, followed by attendees exploring the exhibition and closing the event with selected music by Arbër & Likana.
Autostrada Biennale is proud to support this celebration of literature, art, and music.

About the artbook:
This artbook is a collection of instructional poems that make use of the reader’s participation. Its main topic is an investigation into different ways to better relate to ourselves, by providing a service of care and hope through art. It pays tribute to the mind, each other, the planet and the universe.
The mind has infinite dimensions, blue speaks the language of infinity. It opens a portal where the seen and unseen, conscious and unconscious merge. Blue lives in both planes of existence. Blue makes the invisible visible by giving what it surrounds an immaterial dimension.
This is done through instructional poems, inspired by the Fluxus movement, that focus more on the creative process rather than the artwork itself. As the readers perform the artist’s instructions, they are transformed from an audience into co-creator therefore the launch of the book is transformed as an exhibition where the audience can interact with the scores and understand the overall feeling of the book.
