The artwork is installed on the outside wall of the cultural centre Stieglerhaus, facing the main street of St. Stefan ob Stainz in Western Styria. Composed of video recordings of human eyes, the artwork confronts the rural village with an allegory of a culture shaped and informed by visibility and transparency. Realised as a filmic sequence, it also points to its material and technical substrate, video, a Latin term which literally means “I see”. And while seeing is a cultural technique that offers myriad interpretations and applications, the title “Augenschein” refers especially to optical sensations and appearances as well as to consideration and the cognition of an object or event in the legal sense.
