Seit 1. April 2024 trennt der Inn nicht nur Österreich und Bayern, sondern auch zwei Sprachregeln: offiziell gendern darf man seither nur auf einer Seite des Flusses. Grenzen waren und sind immer Orte des Austausches und der Kommunikation. Worte sind leichter als Luft und so ermöglicht „Flying Borders“ das Kommunizieren über unsere eigenen Grenzen hinweg. Diese Installation macht Grenzen überwindbar, verbindet Menschen durch Wort und Klang und hinterfragt mit Augenzwinkern, wem Sprache gehört.
CV
Paul David Daubek-Puza, born 2000 in Tamsweg, is an architecture student at the University of Art and Design Linz. As part of the collective “architECTS only”, he has already implemented projects such as “Pulmo Pneu” and “Can you wait and feel me breath” as part of the exhibition “Langer Atem- Atemzonen” at Lentos 2024. His works reflect desires and visions coupled with history and complex themes. Through color and form, these take up space and thus become accessible to others.
