We'll come to Vienna, Video, 8 Min., color, 1992
Videoimages
of tourists in and around the Stephansdome are contrasted with statements
of Austrian journalists and politicians commenting on Austria‘s migration
politics. Which groups of “foreigners” are welcome in Austria,
which ones are only accepted or even rejected? The contrast between image
and sound shows that mechanisms of inclusion and exclusion have an economic
and political logic. This logic is also made explicit by the languages that
can be chosen in the Dome‘s Tourist-Info-Phone—information is
offered only in english, german, frensh and italian.
This video resulted from a cooperation with Gerhard Frommel and Paola, and
was realized with the participation of Florian Schmeiser, Gerhard Paul, Richard
Ferkl und Merab Ninidze
