site specific installation
2004sound composition: Alexis Porfiriadis
The photographs documenting this action become accompanied in the exhibition by a montage of folksongs coming from ex Yugoslavian countries and traditional Austrian songs. On five, left empty advertising surfaces (at a bus station in Vienna, where mainly illegal workers from ex-Yugoslavia arrive ) the artist installed in different languages a writing with the request "Please come back to visit us".

videoinstallation
2004
On a horizontal platform we see a video projection in which two persons are facing each other, playing with small balls in the sand, as kids used to on Italian beaches, (the video was done inviting artists and curators to join the game). Next to the platform an automat is placed from wich the balls can be pulled. In place of the otherwise usual pictures of sportsmen inside the balls, such as racing cyclists or autopilots of the formula 1, the "champions" of the world of art, such as Cattelan, Beecroft etc. are represented. The room is filled with the rumbling of the engines of racedriving cars.Smile!
