To mark the return of parliamentary business to the renovated Austrian parliament building,
this book documents an artistic and photographic examination of parliamentary processes, and of parliament as a stage and
a core institution of the democratic system.
Employees of the Parliamentary Administration, the ministries, and
others tested the various processes according to a script. In this cooperative project, students from the University of Applied
Arts Vienna created numerous works of art in the building that interrogate and reconsider social orders in a performative
manner.
