At the end of 1990 Wolfgang Preisinger and Gerald Harringer founded the office Die Fabrikanten (The Fabricants) after having completed their studies at the University of Arts in Linz. Without making any difference between applied and free artistic work, Die Fabrikanten work as a communication agency and at the same time carry out cultural projects – demanding to create a social surplus value. The intellectual approaches of Die Fabrikanten come from art, science and economy. Extraordinary perspectives develop thanks to the combination of new links between these fields and they manifest themselves in corporate designs, rooms, situations and films.

Five cities in five nights. The night consolidates and directs the gaze. Darkness creates intimacy. Residents of the city equipped with headlamps lead us to special places of their choice, behind the facades of tourism. From Thessaloniki in the southeast through Novi Sad, Linz, Essen, to Liverpool in the northwest, the journey takes us diagonally all the way through Europe.
