STATION... see yourself see establishes the historic tram shelter of Wiener Linien as a kind of off-space in public space featuring artistic interventions. As an architectural reference, a walk-in staircase sculpture by Bartholomäus Kinner and Samuel Seger stands on the Schwarzenbergplatz in front of the Schwarzenberg monument. At the top of the staircase there is a view of the waiting hall shelter. The sculptural interventions, by Steffi Alte, Cäcilia Brown and Saskia te Nicklin (on the roof of the waiting hall) and that of Noële Ody which is on the inside, are photographically interpreted by Simone Bader/Rainer Egger, Yasmina Haddad and Abiona Esther Ojo.

"Different shots, from previously unseen perspectives, change the view again and again. They do not allow clear attributions. The density of what is represented speaks for itself. The discrepancy between the hidden and the transparent could not be bigger." (Abiona Esther Ojo)

The second part of the project STATION... sehen sehen opens on 2 July, 2020 at 17.00 with the following interventions:

Intervention on the tram shelter by Steffi Alte mit Saskia te Nicklin

"Looking at Schwarzenbergplatz – what is missing is nature and also animals. But what is nature today? You can discuss if nature exists at all. Or maybe this discussion proves that nature is a human construct, based upon our definitions and our imaginations. For us, nature is a place that brings us peace and tranquillity. For any other animal, insect or plant – nature, the wild, is a place of an ongoing struggle between life and death. You are either eating or being eaten.
The stronger the wind the floppier the tongue gets. There is no language left to describe nature but a mere common "Bla, Blah, bLah". It is quite naughty." (Saskia te Nicklin)

Intervention in the tram shelter by Noële Ody, supported by Julia Goodman

"The bench in the tram shelter is a large bean pod, next to it is a huge buttered toast. Or is it a French toast? Did I forget to have breakfast? The potential germination power of the beans inside the pod is the capital on which you rest and wait. An automat offers cassettes for exchange. In response to all these questions? Music will save us all. Or maybe this day." (Noële Ody)

"nous sommes les enfants des sorcières* que vous n´avez pas pu brulé.es" ("we are the kids of the witches* you weren´t able to burn") (Yasmina Haddad)

Beginning May, 2021 Steffi Altes intervention Dachzelt Desing No. 3 is visible on the tram shelter.
"What makes us move… what makes us stay… keeping it or changing?
….Ohne darauf zu achten bin ich aufgestanden, habe mich angezogen, einen Kaffee getrunken, die darauf folgenden Magenschmerzen versucht weg zu atmen… na wenn das mal gehen würde… Zähne geputzt und bin zur Tür raus." (Steffi Alte)

Starting May 19, 2021, Noële Ody shows a cassette exchange machine in the tram shelter.

"Imagine it's the mid-80s. You don't know what it looked like in the mid-80s? Kind of like in Terminator. You're riding your bike while listening to music from your Walkman. You listen to the tape for the umpteenth time. There are a few more tapes to change in your backpack, but you already know them backwards. It’s still a long way to go and you wouldn't mind a little motivation... isn't there a cassette exchange machine at the corner in front of you lately? You go there and for real, there it is. An inconspicuous long machine. Not even a light shines. You rummage in your backpack for a tape to exchange and pull out the one from your ex. Let someone else listen to the whining. You put it in the vending machine. A few rattling noises and you can pull a lever. More noises followed by a dull bang. The vending machine has digested your tape. You reach with your hand into the output slot and pull out an unknown tape, insert it to your walkman and press play excitedly.

It's 2021, everything looks the same. You're standing at a staition, waiting. The bean bench next to you is already occupied, so you lean against the buttered toast. You notice that there are new stickers with QR codes on them. You scan one with your mobile phone. A download link appears. Curiously you click on it and while it loads you think: If it's a virus, at least it's not Corona. It's an MP3 file. You press play excitedly." (Noële Ody)
