The collaborative archiving project Transitland was realized on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. It presents a selection of 100 single-channel video works, produced in the period between 1989 and 2009.
The works reflect the transformations in post-socialist Central and Eastern Europe. The selection was made by an international jury from 350 videos, proposed by 40 nominators of curators, art critics and artists.
The project focuses on an extensive and turbulent time and space span. Once called the Eastern bloc without further specification, the territories of Transitland were conceived as the somewhat homogeneous, dark side of Europe behind the Iron Curtain.
