Monumenti
An archaic bronze foundry in Tirana, Albania. 60-year-old bronze founder Ladi Metani used to cast opulent monuments on behalf of the regime during the communist dictatorship. They could not withstand the change that came in the early nineties when they were pulled down and melted. Something new arose and Ladi found his own way of self-expression after silent decades of oppression. A tribute to a man who strives for a pure form of life and inner freedom independent of political ideologies. And the portrait of a country in transition.
