Heumat is an artistic examination of the emotional construction of an Austrian identity based on a cultural past, which is essentially linked to idealized traditions and aesthetics of Alpine environments. A current issue is the confusion of the once experienced real homeland with a socio-politically idealized homeland. Itrealizes counter-movements in urban space in different formats, with the aim of disrupting, deconstructing, and reshaping nationalist mystifications; and the aim of encouraging the abandonment of over-emotional and national-erotic ties to the past in favour of a critical-affirmative reflection of one’s cultural self-conception and self-portrayal in the present.
