until 25.06. | #4988ARTatBerlin | ChertLüdde shows from 02. May 2026 (Opening: 01.05.) the exhibition Who does the earth belong to while painting the wind?! by the artist Petrit Halilaj.
ChertLüdde is pleased to present the exhibition “Who Owns the Earth While Painting the Wind?!” by Petrit Halilaj, which has emerged from decades of collaboration between the artist and the gallery and is taking place at the Hamburger Bahnhof in conjunction with Halilaj’s largest institutional exhibition in Germany, “An Opera out of Time.”
He presents new works related to his 2025 open-air opera, incorporating materials and ashes that survived a politically motivated attack in which props and the set were destroyed and burned just days before the premiere. With great effort, Halilaj managed to redesign everything in time. Now he reinterprets these remnants both as a testament to resilience and as a material reminder of the event.
