SUBLIMINAL WIEN #05
Videostill
Subliminal Wien is a site specific video installation produced at the WUK Kulturzentrum and Workstation in Vienna for the "Mapping the City" residence, curated by kforumvienna. Subliminal Vienna is an X-ray map of the subliminal layers of the Freud's city, a visionary portrait of subliminal metropolitan signs, symbols and icons as a body-citizen digital landscape. Elastic Group shows the habitual signs and symbols from nowadays (street signals, instructions) which form the map of the city, in a looped projection. These common places adopted into another subtext make as aware of how the reading of their significance has changed in time and how we often don’t even notice them. The city as place where we live is filled with connections and meanings, we often don’t perceive anymore. By giving attention to the signals surrounding us, we are able to perceive the space we move within in a different way.
