Featuring a considerable number of drawings and paintings by Hila since the early 1970s, along with his own writings, this monograph is published in conjunction with the retrospective exhibition "Edi Hila: Painter of Transformation." Essays by Edi Muka, a former student of Hila at the National Academy of Arts in Tirana, and Adam Szymczyk, who invited Hila to participate in documenta 14 in 2017, explore how the artist translates the specifics of Albanian sociopolitical transformations into the language of art. Art historian Éric de Chassey reflects on Hila's realism as a particular artistic position within post-war European painting.
