A 56-kilometre long line-flight directly from Graz to Maribor generates a continuously filmed portrait of the living landscape along a straight line between the two closest Cultural Capitals of Europe. A floating film recording from an Airship at about 200 meter height, perpendicular to the ground, produces a precise picture of the exact route (line) between the city centres: “Hauptplatz Graz“ and “Glavni trg Maribor“ in HD resolution. People can follow the flight event from the ground on 6 October 2012 and experience the result later in two exhibitions – one in Graz and one in Maribor – where the video is projected simultaneously in large installations in public space. The flight can be followed live on a digital monitor system on Glavni trg Maribor or Hauptplatz Graz.
The landscape video will also be projected in the courtyard of the historical Vetrinj Mansion (Vetrinjski dvor), every day until the 4th November 2012.
