Sights, Sites and Sides to the Railway

This project is a reminiscence on the railway as a form of transport that once »united peoples« in this region. The participants will be introduced to the bitter-sweet delights of the landscape and to a few of the less well-known sides to the history of the region. Special attention will be paid to the culture of the railway employees and to the history of working people.
ANBAHNUNG is set up as a twelve-hour »open-air exhibition«: A meandering rail journey evolves like a walk-through sculpture, beside which the landscape unfolds like a film. Individual »Frames« or »Stills« have specific »Markings« to make them recognisable. Buildings or outdoor locations which are significant for their cultural and historical »relations and connections« in the region are given particular prominence. A film director is the tour leader, and the group itself part of the atmosphere.
