The work 'Barricades are bridges and ideas cannot be shot' deals with barricades and the revolutionary character of these so-called bridges. Based on the first photograph of a barricade in Paris, the video installation places historical barricades from lithographs of the 1848 revolution in Vienna, in filmed original locations by using 3D renderings. The work deals with the architecture of barricades, the historical struggles as well as their culture and cultural techniques and asks whether barricades can (could) be seen as bridges?
