Utopia Travel
Emanuel Danesch / David Rych 2000 - 2004
The basis of the project ‘utopia travel’ is the
transport of a video collection from Cairo to Vienna. A taxi equipped with a
video monitor served as a mobile unit showing the videos between the capital
cities.
The method of presentation provided the opportunity to touch on a variety of
issues, from the complexity of individual societies to the construction of political
territories. In that sense the project is understood to be a temporary, non-institutional
platform focusing on the translation and transmissibility of local cultural
codes as different aspects of interrelated history.
