‘Standard Time’ is a 24 hours performance where 70 workers dismantle and rebuild a wooden sculpture representing the time. For the real life digital clock 1611 changes had to be done – always under the pressure of running out of time.

The Metro-Kino is a cinema in the Johannesgasse 4 in the 1st district of Vienna. The building first housed a nightclub called Elysium, later a playhouse was opened at this address. In 1951 the Metro-Kino moved in. The cinema was taken over by the Austrian Film Archive in 2002. The Filmarchiv Austria runs the cinema for the showing of significant and historical Austrian films. Furthermore, it is one of the traditional venues of the Vienna International Film Festival (Viennale) taking place every October since 1960.
