Where are we? Where do we want to go? At least geographically, maps can provide answers and offer orientation in an unknown environment. They help to determine one’s position.
Even before social media, there were selfies. Venetian Blind shows 24 self-portraits of the artist Michael Snow in Venice.
Nine eyes that have been almost everywhere in the world. Nine eyes that capture moments and yet are free of any personal motivation.
For his project Casting Antinomads, Roman Ondak asks family and friends about their attitude towards travel and divides them into nomads and antinomads.
Talisa Lallai in an interview about her most precious travel memories, wanderlust and exoticism.
African decorative scarification, a clearing in the jungle, a naked girl, or a boat in the sunlight: These clichéd images of a trip to Africa are fictitious, generated on the computer with the help of digital editing.

The large-format paper works by Philipp Goldbach confront the viewers with minuscule pencil hand writing of only a few millimeters in size. Only barely decipherable up close, the lines blur to a striped grey surface from a distance.
Travelling? At that time, only works of art could do so, but not their creators. As soon as a first relaxation of the Iron Curtain was tangible, already presentations of unofficial Soviet art took place.
In his work Shape No.1, the Japanese American artist Shūsaku Arakawa gives us a seemingly simple task: to forget all places – except the spots and outlines marked on the canvas with the word “place”.
