In order to bring institutional racisms (in the form of state regulated racisms) into the focus of public attention, a 3 x 3 x 3 m large poster object was placed in the Viennese city center in front of the State Opera from 14.10. - 27.11.1997. As this site is visited by numerous tourists, the poster object showed a sober text, superimposed over a photographed house facade, about the Austrian practice of remand pending deportation in German, English, and Italian.
The fourth side of the poster object informed in more detail (also in three languages) about the practice of remand pending deportation in this country under the headline "Facts worth knowing about Austria". The poster object was part of the project "Institutional Racisms" (Institutionelle Rassismen), which was continued as an exhibition in the Kunsthalle Exnergasse. 
There a video with leading officials from Austria and Germany, who we interviewed on remand pending deportation and other exclusion mechanisms, and information materials from anti-racist publications were shown.
