Step by step we improve our mobile lab – the Ford Transit transporter van (the name is the program) and the trailer. Inside the van we started to install a mobile exhibition, which we use as triggers for conversations. But we also use the big load capacity on our research trips to collect artifacts. The trailer we designed as s spatial grid and sub-construction in order to attach white panels which are stored – like a sketch-book – in the yellow box. During interviews on the respective site we draw large-scale live mappings on the...

On our trip back we re-visited the Eesti Road Museum. Already at our stopover last summer, we had been very intrigued about how artefacts related to mobility-issues are staged.

We finally succeeded and moved into our new project-space at the „Nord-West-Bahnof“ area. The freight station is still a very busy logistic hub.

So did we! We now have an office space next door to some forwarding agents and a storage-lot in one of the big warehouses. In both spaces we start to set up our installations/ cartographies. ...

This time we leave Sofia northwards in the direction to Montana and Vidin, following the Corridor IV/ E79. On our way to Sofia at the Serbian border we had troubles with the customs, because we were entering the Non-EU country and didn’t obtain a Carnet ATA for the technical equipment in advance. Besides we want to experience this route the main argument for taking this route as for so many others is to avoid a long delay at the border – since we don’t have to leave the...
