three video channel installation commissioned and produced by: Steiermark Schau 2021, curated by Astrid Kuhry.

“In 1976, the last woman to compete in a Formula 1 race steps down: In the “Austrian Grand Prix”, Italian racer Leila Lombardi was the last to hit the finish line, but at least she reached it. Her fastest lap time was 1:42,25 – this is also the length of the planned video installation. Composed of tracking shots as well as static shots of the Red Bull Ring and a performer representing Lella Lombardi, the so far last female Formula 1 driver is honored in the ambience of the “Spielberg-Ring”.”  (by k. s.)
