His notable works ‘It's time to go visiting: No visa required’ (2003) or his 'Kosovar Pavilion Venice Biennial 2005' (2005) are not merely the installations or acts of appropriation, but also acts of engagements with the conditions under which the works were accepted by the curators, media, politicians, and the public. Since 2006, his work is also channeled through a collaborative intervention, project institution [[Stacion|Stacion - Center for Contemporary Art Prishtina]].
