The installation trans*port takes movement as a point of departure for an exploration of identity and tran- sitions. The car journey is not merely understood as a route between two places, but as a space of experience in its own right: a state of being in transit in which bodily perception, memory, and self-awareness shift. Together, Aimilia A. Theofilopoulos and Lio Kappel traverse different trans*landscapes during a one hour journey. These landscapes do not merely denote geographical spaces, but mark transitions between inner and outer perception. The passing surroundings, visual impressions, and traces of memory merge with the movement of the two figures, creating a space in which identity does not appear static, but continually changes through traversing, perceiving, and locating oneself. The vehicle functions as a mobile space that creates an inside and an outside, makes transitions perceptible, and renders temporality and social interaction tangible. Always on the move.
