STATION 1: Festival Centre at Room D
In Joanna Polak's video installation Made in China at the Festival Centre (see Locations) a real host of photos, embellished with loud Heavy Metal, comes face to face with an (animated), completely silent pair of lovers – or rather: back to back, for the monitors are placed with their backs to each other, so that the viewer has to move around the installation. A deeply symbolic bid for attention.
STATION 2: Asifakeil
The video installation CERVINARA by Thomas Steiner is displayed daily from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. at the Asifakeil in the Electric Avenue at MuseumsQuartier.
