1I15

A static black-and-white frame of urban streets and squares, an off-screen voice sharing their names: in the Austrian city of Graz 94% of all traffic area is named after men. 1 | 15 catalogs those carrying female names. Frame by frame the film moves from the periphery to the center of the city. The serialization of the standardized method creates a new landscape of consciousness besides the architectural image of the city as the social dimension becomes visible. Through the urban geography of these locations, the gender relations inside the decision process behind public remembrance culture symbolically transcends the specificities of this city.
