Batusha's House

Kadri Batusha is building his tremendous house in the outskirts of Prishtina in Kosovo since 15 years; without any plans, architects or building permits. The architecture of this enormous building, with its 300 inhabitants, all its little towers, stairs and mazy corridors is a manifestation of Kadri Batusha’s biography: A life story shaped by political activism, prison, migration, the years as an asylum seeker in Switzerland but also the time of war in Kosovo.

Jan Gollob and Tino Glimmann guide us to meet those who live in this unbelievable labyrinth worthy of Xanadu in Citizen Kane, which thus becomes a metaphor for a young anarchic nation.
