The video belongs to a series of projects that have been produced since 2004 in the context of the KOLEKTIVA's psycho-geographical Platform 'Special Place in the City'. The authors recorded the video at an artistic residence in Graz. Local artists and their friends were asked about their special spaces, locations and feelings that they bring out in them. The video contains nine different stories. Each story consists of two parallel frames, one showing the person in his/her special place, the other in the space of everyday routine (work, home).
