Geography of Ghosts
Wanda Spahl & Dominic Schwab

GEOGRAPHY OF GHOSTS is a collaboration between the social scientist Wanda Spahl and the architect Dominic Schwab. Based on five years of research on refugee health in Austria, the exhibition addresses the in/visibility of refugees in the healthcare system, societal discourse and public space. It inverts the intricate relationship between medical imaging techniques and “objective” representations of disease, by staging spatial aspects of health and illness. Interweaving the lucid, spectral and inconsistent materiality of 3D scanning technologies with spoken stories, political statements and conceptual thoughts, the exhibition unfolds a landscape of spatial narratives.

Kultur und Kunstverein FABRIKRAUM is a non-profit cultural association, which is based in Vienna. It was founded by a group of artists and cultural managers in 2018. The collective aims to create a platform that artists, curators, and researchers can introduce their works to each other and collaborate on different projects.

We organize non-profit art and cultural events such as workshops, seminars, lectures, exhibitions, public interventions, fairs, artist talks, and discussions. We embrace all levels of artistic research with a special focus on multidisciplinary approaches and new media art.
