Austria has repeatedly been a destination for refugees who were received as persecuted individuals and rejected as "aliens". The iconographies of flight changed as a function of the respective point of view. Changing identities of an individual, their masks, and the mental bridges between "here" and "back there" become the subject of artistic creation: memories, phantasms, traces and documents. The exhibition presents works by artists, most of them living in Austria, who explore the issues of fleeing, migration and prejudice, who process their own experience of flight in different ways or refuse to accept it as a label of identification.
