The emphasis lies on the object that gets deprived from its actual cause in ‘real life’ and is turned into a means of transport and thereby challenges visitors to confront themselves with the sociopolitical situation.

The tubed tires stand for a group that’s on the brim of our political space and is being excluded from the possibility to fulfill their social needs, an inconceivable feeling for “native” Europeans within our system.
The history of Europe has always shown traces of dislocation and mass movement. The means of transport were always dangerous – ranging from refugee smugglers with ice trucks to high-voltage lines in times of the Iron Curtain.
Time and time again, it’s arbitrariness that decides over life and death, going through or letting go.
