This project was initiated in response to an article published in Austria's leading daily newspaper. "No cab for Austrians" made headlines in the context of the then new Austrian coalition government (FPÖ/ÖVP) in spring 2000 causing controversy over the European commission and the Belgian government. The piece consists of two parts. First part: On arrival in Brussels (20th of March 2001) we took cabs from the airport to the centre. Conversations with cabdrivers were recorded on video. Second part: During exhibition in the Styria House (a government run institution) the unedited material was contextualised in an installation: Original copies of the "Kronenzeitung" newspaper were made available. The video was shown on a monitor situated in a corner opposite the wardrobe. |
