Never slow to react, infamous German director Christoph Schlingensief soon retaliated with an extraordinary form of protest. As a tangible satire on xenophobia, Big Brother madness and new nationalism Schlingensief decided to stage an interactive concentration camp – right at the heart of Vienna’s picturesque tourist centre. And Austria just freaked – soon there were thousands of screaming people on site and almost a million connected worldwide via the Internet. Knife attacks. Punch-ups. Political intrigues. An incredibly heated week that captured the European drift to the right in real time. A hardcore route to democracy. …Foreigners out!
