Inspired by phantom rides—films from the late 19th century shot from the front of moving trains—Tracks I-III follows old and new technological traces that have shaped movement and representation. Historical landscapes once captured along railway lines are now ­reimagined through a carefully fragmented scenery, where motion splits, diverges, and advances in all ­possible directions. Truttmann’s playful exploration of spatial and temporal dislocations is grounded in a ­specific location and its history: a section of the “Ischlerbahn,” one of Austria’s first major long-distance rail lines, which was closed in 1957 despite strong protests from all segments of the population.

Tracks I-III is part of the collective project Techno Scapes, using visitors’ mobile devices as cinema screens. It was developed by members of The Golden Pixel Cooperative for the Supergau Art Festival and installed in the area around Lueg, a former train station of the “Ischlerbahn”. The adjacent building is part of this history and now vacant.
