In order to expose institutionalized forms of racism (the kind regulated by state), the artists placed a three-by-three meter poster object on the square in front of the Vienna State Opera. Pictured on it was a supposedly typical Viennese house facade. In reality, however, this was the facade of the police detention center on Rossauer Lände, one of Vienna's two deportation holding facilities. Above it was a text about Austrian deportation policies in German, English and Italian. The poster was part of the Institutional Racism project, continued in Kunsthalle Exnergasse.
