Donna, 2000 - Videoinstallation, 3,4 min in cooperation with Peter Höll
Video installation consisting of two monitors facing each other and situated on a round and revolving table shows a view of a city and human figures in fragmentation. A young, dark skinned woman in close-up speaks about some everyday topic in English while she is moving energetically through dreary city quarters. Only slowly, while we are confronted with bits and pieces of word material in Viennese dialect does it become clear that the city she lives in must be Vienna. And what annoys her day after day and is a constant source of stress for her are those banal situations of everyday racism and xenophobia in the back of the Austrian average mind.
