The exhibition 'lost/and/found' by Nicole Six & Paul Petritsch juxtaposes objects from an ÖBB lost and found office with items from the House of Austrian History's collection. Presented within the 'Kunstzug TRAM' that traveled between Vienna and Bratislava, it explores themes of separation, connection, and the archival nature of found objects.
The exhibition "lost/and/found" by artists Nicole Six & Paul Petritsch transforms found objects into a unique archival space that reflects and narrates history. The project juxtaposes items recovered from the lost and found of ÖBB trains and stations in Vienna and Bratislava with objects from the collection of the House of Austrian History. Originally launched on a train track at Vienna's Westbahnhof, "lost/and/found" was then showcased aboard the "Kunstzug TRAM" from February to November 2018, traveling regularly between Vienna and Bratislava. This unique presentation highlighted the historical and cultural ties between the two neighboring capitals, aligning with the 25th anniversary of bilateral relations, the memorial year 2018, and the European Year of Cultural Heritage. The exhibition, a collaboration with the House of Austrian History, documented the process of coming together through (involuntary) separations, underscoring the region's deepening connections.
