Pavel Brăila’s newly commissioned three-channel video installation looks at the layers of history to be found in Graz—a city still recuperating from a violent 20th century. It visits Annenstraße, once a flourishing shopping street, deeply affected by the expropriation of Jewish-run businesses in 1938. Today, Annenstraße’s residents are mostly of non-Austrian origins and include migrant communities from all over the Middle East, Central Asia, the Caucasus, and elsewhere.
