Anna Jermolaewa in dialogue with Bärbl Zechner, Gabriele Stöger and the audience
Kunstraum Weikendorf
2253 Weikendorf, Rathausplatz 1

Anna Jermolaewa has crossed the Austrian-Slovakian border several times in preparation for her presentation in the Kunstraum Weikendorf and has discovered that there is little mutual knowledge on both sides.

In five videos she shows the visitors of the Kunstraum a portrait of the neighboring Slovak town Làb and wants to give impulses for further mutual explorations. The city of Làb presented itself at the opening with its unique dance group - how would Weikendorf introduce itself?
