Igli Martini Kocibelli
Fragmented memory
Although Igli Martini Kocibelli is a civil engineer, his passion for photography began in 2006 as a way to find balance during the stress of demanding construction work. Known for portraits and landscapes, his work has been featured in exhibitions across Europe, Australia, and China. During four years in China, he became fascinated by the busy streets of Beijing. Having lived in many places, he feels that memory is never complete. As he moves to Brussels, this project becomes both a celebration of China and a gift to himself, using double exposure, glitches, and digital techniques to represent fragmented memory.
Igli's photographs explore how places return through layers, interruptions, reflections, and digital traces. His work becomes the remembered world after it has passed through time, movement, and emotion.
