FUGE FÚGA ФУГА FÜG. In between Vienna and Istanbul is a multipart transnational art project between performance, music, film and visual arts, which will cross 8 countries and whose starting point as well as destination is Vienna. Thematic core of the project is migration, conceiving borders - those in between countries, languages, genres and individuals - as inherently permeable, a genuine place of exchange.

 

Basis of the overall project is the route from Vienna to Istanbul, which the director Carina Riedl and the filmmaker and musician Dieter Kovačič will walk on foot in spring 2020. The journey will run 2200 km along a way where historically significant migratory movements have taken place for centuries and that has now become one of the focal points of European migration policy as so-called Eastern Balkans Route.

PHASE OF RESEARCH: since autumn 2019

 

PHASE I - Walking and shooting of the video footage: 20 February - May 2020

The entire journey will be documented with two goPro cameras. Several blog sections of the project homepage will report on it.

 

PHASE II - performance part with stops in Istanbul, Sofia, Budapest, Belgrade, Bratislava and Vienna: spring 2021

Integral part of the travel preparations was the exchange with 6 artists* from the performance and music sector, who migrated along the route mentioned above. They conceived performative interventions for the public space of the 5 cities from which they left, partly long time ago, which will be realized in spring 2021. As culmination point of the entire project, the Viennese part will bring them together in a large-scale performance-format.

 

PHASE III - Book Publication: 2021

From the distance, we want to take a close look at the topics inherent to the project again. A book publication shall be created on the basis of the photo, film and text material. 

 

The slow unfolding of the topic over a year-long process and through different media is our attempt to deal with the project's questions in a more sustainable way as could be possible in usual production periods.
