Landstraße | MANHOLE COVERS
Hidden below street level, the cityscape is traversed by a network of shafts and tunnels through which sewer, gas and district heating pipes pass. The link-up between these unseen underworlds and hectic everyday life in the city is provided by the unobtrusive manhole covers that dot the streets. In a series of interventions between the Main Square and Schiller Park, these manhole covers will be utilized as media for visual and acoustic artworks that open up insights ranging from a depth of 50 meters all the way to the other side of the world.Produced in cooperation with Linz AG. Artistic Collaborators: Linz Art University, Bildhauerei_transmedialer Raum / Renate Herter and Raum- und Designstrategien / Pepi Maier.
