The para-Center for Island Research (paraCIR) is a transdisciplinary platform for artistic and scientific research. It seeks to situate knowledges and perspectives using collaborative and participative methods. The paraCIR unfolds landscapes via experimental and unique collective field work and de-mapping exercises, uncovering submerged entities, stories, and intra-actions that lie deep down in the hidden structures of landscapes.
For the treatise on fugueology, the paraCIR did field research at different segments of the Danube River (Vienna, Bratislava, Budapest, The Iron Gates) letting islands become the guiding figure in the search for interconnected zones of transition, in-between spaces, ecological and social fugues.
With contributions by the para Center for Island Research (Paula Bracker, Momo E. Hontebeyrie, Daniel H. Pineda), an introduction by Márió Z. Nemes and an afterword by Anne Faucheret.
