Adriana Torres Topaga worked with project staff from the Salzkammergut education centre “BIS Sparta” on questions such as:
How does the way we move through and perceive places influence our understanding of the world around us?
What moves us? How can we all contribute to the preservation and care of life and our environment? What ethical drivers determine our actions?
The answers to these questions will guide the planned interventions of the Rufzeichen (!) project in the “Sparta” premises of Bad Aussee railway station and in public spaces.
With the prospect of self-empowered appropriation, the project invites people to engage with the existing space and the associated paradigms of perception.
In artistic installations at Bad Aussee railway station, different approaches are presented and related through various media such as graphics, space and furniture installations, such as the transformation of the former tobacconist’s in the waiting room at the station into a “call sign incubator”.
Ideas that invite you to pause and question forms of orientation and habits. The call signs as symbols are able to connect spaces of different kinds, introduce reflections, merge forms, open doors and materialise intentions guided by the compass of conscience, ethics or intuition.
The project will remain visible until the end of the programme at Bad Aussee station in the former tobacconist’s and on the benches.
