The Internal Border – Nicole Six & Paul Petritsch
Posters on euro pallet, 2008
After World War One an area in Carinthia's south-east, where the majority of the population spoke Slovene, was claimed by the SHS state (the “Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes”). On October 10, 1920 a plebiscite decided upon the national future of these parts: just under 60 percent of the population living there voted against secession and for union with Austria.
“We examine the course of the border as it was then planned on the basis of the map of the plebiscite. Visiting and walking the length of that frontier line is being documented photographically. By analogy to cartographic methods we put a certain screen across the map, thus defining place, viewpoint and line of sight of the photos.” Six&Petritsch
