Eni Derhemi (Tirana, 1992) is an Albanian artist, curator, and poetess based in Bologna, Italy. Her artistic practice spans multiple mediums, with a particular emphasis on the interplay between moving images, poetry, and sound. Eni's work delves into themes of transformation, memory, and existential exploration, often bridging the personal with the universal.
Eni's video poetry merges intimate visuals with evocative language, creating immersive experiences that invite the viewer to empathize and live the poetic experience firsthand. Her approach combines directing, filming, and performance with poetry writing and reading, reflecting a seamless dialogue between the visual and the literary.
Derhemi's writing is marked by its rich introspection and philosophical depth. Her poetry examines themes of migration, identity, and the fluidity of human experience, often framed within a poetic language that is both accessible and profound. Her first poetry collection, Poetry of Things, embodies these qualities, offering readers a glimpse into her inner world with a curated selection from 2015 to 2024.
Eni's short films have been showcased at international festivals and exhibitions, where they have earned critical recognition. By weaving together poetry and moving images, Eni creates works that serve as a bridge between the ephemeral and the enduring, inviting audiences into moments of quiet reflection and connection.
