Halilaj’s work has been exhibited in major museums and galleries around the world, including the Tate Modern in London, the New Museum in New York, and the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam. He has received numerous awards and honors, including the Mario Merz Prize in 2014 and the 2020 Hugo Boss Prize.

“Very volcanic over this green feather” is one of Petrit Halilaj’s installation. This work was first exhibited at the Fondazione Merz in Turin, Italy in 2018, and later at the Palazzo Grassi in Venice in 2019.
