Ein Projekt von Kili Schmid
Real spaces of perception, especially public ones, pale in the variable fields of physical disability and virtual worlds. When people belonging to the younger and older generation meet on the Ferris wheel, different sensations meld in one and the same space for experience, creating a temporary public space for both generations. A view of the whole is the starting point for discussions that seek to find the meaning of public spaces for both generations. “Prater” is about tracing links in a cross-generation dialogue about a concrete living space and making them visible.
Christiane (Kili) Schmid was born in Bregenz, Vorarlberg in 1969. She now lives in Vienna, where she has worked on art projects in the public space and social context since 2002. Her work includes “nachbarschaftskochen” (Neighborhood Cooking) in Vienna‘s Gemeindebau public housing projects and “der gelebte raum”(The Lived Space) at the Liebehartstal 2 home for the elderly in Ottakring.
