Following the line of arguments

Following the line of arguments is an installation encompassing an essay film (Strada Fabricii), a tilting wall, a soundless projection (POI) and a photo series. Together they form a fragmented attempt to spatialize the local contexts of globalization and flexibilization in work environments by means of their display. A central starting point is the strategy of the Nokia company, which has relocated its production facilities from Bochum to Cluj to Hanoi at intervals of a few years in a profit-orientated manner. The essay film Strada Fabricii and the soundless projection POI stand back to back. They touch each other through the inscription of the street surface in their filmic image. The newly built street around the Nokia factory and the old ‘Street of the Factory’ in Cluj differ, along with their resonating or suppressed sounds and (hi)stories.
