A Wish solo exhibition, Copenhagen, 2023

A wish is dealing with the implications of why it is that anything glistening and shiny catches the eye. A bootleg perfume becomes the starting point for a photographic investigation of various objects that attempts to replicate certain visual and material “high-end” standards. By zooming in on details from Gashi's own family archive, the works highlight working class aesthetics and desires. “Shine and luster tend to block the view of things, while at the same time inviting fetishistic adherence.”1
