2016, Austria, 5’30”

More than 3000 engraved pieces of glass show the movement of clouds in time lapse. However, the outlines of the clouds rather appear as ever-changing country border lines. The audio is a collection of sentences taken from Austrian television in September 2015, when thousands of refugees were arriving in Austria and Central Europe.

Več kot 3000 graviranih kosov stekla prikazuje gibanje oblakov v pohitrenem posnetku. Vendar pa obrisi oblakov prej spominjajo na nenehno spreminjajoče se mejne črte. Zvočno podlago sestavlja nabor stavkov z avstrijske televizije iz septembra 2015, ko je v Avstrijo in srednjo Evropo prihajalo na tisoče beguncev.
