Of Stains Scraps & Tires
Sebastian Brameshuber, 2014, AT, DCP, 19'

A remote and long-abandoned industrial site located in a densely wooded Austrian hinterland has been given a new function by Nigerian scrapmasters. Engines, axles and cylinders that cannot be resold in Europe are being prepared for shipment to Africa. Directly across their garage lies a paintball field, where young people pursue their hobby. Brameshuber is interested in these different realities – a working world and a gaming world – and their visual, acoustic and symbolic relationship.
