A journey is like a door, through which one leaves everyday reality to transfer into unknown territory, which seems to be a dream.

This is a key sentence in the out of mounted photographs compound video by Elisabeth Wörndl,which developed in collaboration with the Mexican artist Saul Villa. The video is about travelling, about moving and being on the road, about contradictions and similarities between different cultures and last not least about friendship between the artists and inspiration.

In conversations between the artists while travelling the viewer learns about Mexican swear words, ponderings about travelling, moving and traffic or hears about the philosophical questions and reasons, and the meaning of living, travelling and making videos.

Following locations are shown:

1. 1. Periferico ( Mexico City night time)
2. 2. Vienna night time, Vienna daytime
3. 3. trip fro Salzburg to Obertauern

All in the video mounted photographs were taken between 2004 and 2005 in Mexico and Austria by the artists.

The video is named after Avenida Periferico, a group of streets which are about 100 km long and circulate around the core area of Mexico City.

All trips were organised rotative by Saul Villa and Elisabeth Wörndl.
