Not your typical beach day

Video still from Kledio Spiro’s show “Which Way, “ at Kingston Gallery, Boston, Oct. 5-Nov. 5.

The gallery says:

“Kledia Spiro creates videos, performances, installations and multimedia experiences. In ‘Which Way,’ Spiro tackles the need to ‘mark your territory’ to survive in a changing landscape as both an immigrant {from Albania} and a woman. For immigrants, home is a constantly changing territory. The video installation depicts Spiro crawling through sand with stilettos and a weightlifting belt, trying to make it to an undetermined side. Spiro wants to confront her viewers with a new path — one that might be more difficult to walk but by the end of it they will gain a new perspective and appreciation.’’
