-In 1991, a communist dictatorship that had lasted 45 years and was one of the most extreme in Europe, the regime of Enver Hoxha, collapsed in Albania. In that year, a traumatised, impoverished and isolated-backward country was released into a democratic future. The Hoxha period was, I think, the opposite of what for me constitutes the ideal of "the West". I wonder if I could make this idealised "West" my motif here? To what I am looking for, as a reality - or perhaps only as a longing, because it only becomes clear in its absence?+Albania went through a long period of extreme repression and isolation after the Second World War. In 1991, the Stalinist dictatorship of Enver Hoxha collapsed after more than 45 years. At that time, an impoverished and traumatised country was released into a democratic future. The Hoxha period was the opposite of what for me constitutes the ideal of the "West". I wonder if this ideal could be my motif here? The thing I'm looking for? As a reality - or as a longing, as something that is evident in its absence?
  
 What is the promise of the "West"? Can it gain a foothold in a society that in 1991 consisted almost exclusively of perpetrators and victims of a ruthless authoritarian system? How did or does the transformation from there to a society of subsidiarity take place? Is there even a prospect of this? How does one see the sluggish, complacent "West" from Albania, as it appears in reality? Is there also this bitter disillusionment here that I keep encountering in the East of the West? Are people here also beginning to see an alternative to the West in the authoritarianism of China, Russia or Turkey? As the lesser evil to Western hypocrisy? What is the promise of the "West"?
