Find Your Tongue is an art installation and performance inviting the visitors to reflect on
the topic of organised crime and corruption in Albania by offering the audience to drink water from ice glasses shaped like the tongue of the former anti-drug chief Dritan Zagani.
In 2017, while still on duty, Zagani investigated an Albanian organised criminal group that cooperated with the government. As a result, the former Minister of the Interior of the Socialist Party, Sajmir Tahiri, was convicted. Today, Tahiri is serving his sentence at his home, having been released from prison. Zagani was and still is persecuted by the Albanian government – according to them he is the one who should be punished. Still wanted by the Albanian justice, Zagani received political asylum in Switzerland. Nowadays he lives under a new identity, carrying out various jobs, among others as a security guard at Art Basel.
