Synopsis
US artist Alexander Viscio came to Vienna as "Artist in Residence" - and stayed. Since then, he has used the entire city as his studio. Val - Vehicles for Another Landscape is the name of his Vienna Feuilleton, created by director Michal Kosakowski. In 14 miniatures, he traces Viennese transformations, fishes in the city's largest gene pool - the Amalienbad - and subjects an umbrella to an alcohol test.
