The occasion for this transnational exhibition is the opening of the Koralmbahn railway line on 14 December 2025. The focus is on the historically close ties between the two neighbouring provinces of Carinthia and Styria. The project starts with the question of why people have been travelling in this region for the last 1,000 years. Their central motives – survival, domination and administration, trade and work, research and learning, and the search for recreation – form the chapters of the exhibition in Graz and Klagenfurt, which covers a total area of around 800 square metres. These chapters are linked by the routes, the historically verifiable connecting lines between today’s federal states. Whether Pack, Drau or Soboth – depending on the time and state of technical development, they were more or less significant and difficult to navigate. In the exhibition curated by Walter Feldbacher, Thomas Felfer and Bettina Habsburg-Lothringen, six of them are translated into film as atmospheric spaces.
