X-TERR Artistic journey with your car (KOSOVO)

Work in progress

X-TERR is about an artistic ability to transform a specific part of a territory within a “normal” territory to be experienced through a drive. Audience is invited to experience a drive through an audio-visual installation happening through the car’s audio system. This project questions the borders of our own individual safe environments. What happens when our individual spaces open up and merge into a collective societal realm? Psychologically, how do these boundaries impact our mindset levels? How this realm is changed and transformed by political forces, global trends, refugee crisis, and economical challenges?

Moving along this physical and virtual territory, a car and its twelve cubic meters is transformed into a metaphor on wheels for our individual freedom as part of our collective freedom. What if our identity must, or we choose to be hidden in a certain territory or context?

The name “X-TERR” derives from Kosovo’s temporary international code – XK. X stands for unknown, neutral, unsolved and temporary, whereas TERR stands for territory. Inspired by our experiences during the 90’s in Kosovo, when the car was some kind of a mobile embassy of conditional freedom for our families, we want to create an extraterritorial artistic “jurisdiction”.

Welcome to X-TERR. We thank you for choosing our territory for visit.
