Während Titos Regierungszeit entstanden über 200 Monumente, die an den Widerstand der Partisan*innen und an die Verbrechen des Zweiten Weltkriegs erinnern. Was seinerzeit für die Zusammengehörigkeit aller Bewohner*innen der Republiken und autonomen Provinzen stand, zeugt heute von politischer und gesellschaftlicher Zerrissenheit. Zerwürfnisse und Kriege haben in den neuen Nationalstaaten Differenzen sichtbar gemacht und zu ethnisch, national und religiös motivierten Konflikten beigetragen.

"Wörgl paradox", 2013, several video installations
Exhibition at the "Galerie am Polylog", Wörgl/ Tyrol
together with photographer Günter R. Wett
Wörgl, with its convenient location, is one of the fastest growing cities in Tyrol and an important economic centre of the Tyrolean lowlands. In Wörgl, historic farms are surrounded by shopping centres and skyscrapers, which at times lead to a grotesque cityscape. In "WÖRGLparadox", the different architectures were shown using the media photography and video.

"HERNALSER Transfer", 2012, Kubus EXPROT, Vienna
2-channel-video in the Kubus EXPORT (Transparenter Raum) by VALIE EXPORT
The "Kubus EXPORT" built by Valie EXPORT is 10 m away from the costruction site where the high-rise "Hernalser" was built. Videos of the construction site of the "hernalser" were looped in the Kubus EXPORTfor two month. The glass cube became the symbolic soul of the opposite building through the recordings of the workers.
crane OPERator, 2012, Vienna
opera, performance, live-video installation
The excavation pit of the high-rise building "hernalser" became a stage and an opera house. Probably the highest stage area in the world did not only include the excavation pit but reached the limit of the crane boom: Magdalena Renwart - the singing Isolde - descended from the air and sang live the final theme from Richard Wagner's "Tristan und Isolde".
At the same time, film shooting took place at the foot of the excavation pit. A scene based on a film sequence from the movie "Weekend" by Jean-Luc Godard was transferred to the construction site situation. The workers did not interrupt their work and thus became part of the staging.
Wiener Werkbundsiedlung, 2012, Vienna
Audio-app for the public space
Audio App for the Highlights Tour through the Werkbundsiedlung in Vienna, which was opened as an international building exhibition in the summer of 1932. Under the direction of the architect Josef Frank, 70 houses were planned which were intended as models for the construction of large housing estates. In the Werkbundsiedlung, models for the small settlement house with garden were presented on a larger scale for the first time. A maximum of living comfort should be developed on a minimal built-up area.

Operation Jason 1, 2009, Tyrol
Multimedia (8-channel-sound installation, live internet video, scuplture) in the public space, Innsbruck
Since the beginning of the 90's, Europe has been increasingly restrictive against refugees and migrants. Based on the tragedies of refugees in the Mediterranean, the project dealt with the demarcations within and at the borders of Europe.
In October 2009, the 23-metre long walkable boat construction "Jason 1" docked at Karl-Rahner-Platz Innsbruck. Every eight hours, a sound installation reproduced stories by refugees and various positions on the EU border policy via eight loudspeaker boxes. A camera recorded the place and thus the boat and transmitted the recordings and the sound installation live to the Internet.
