When strongrooms are pensioned off, they quite often dream of the cinema – and of the time when break-ins were physical actions, gold bars and bundles of banknotes were still real, and hermetically sealed chambers developed by master designers played the leading roles next to the stars for a whole act – certainly a better and more thrilling fate than the bare existence in the cellar of an abandoned bank. Film director and multimedia artist Virgil Widrich transforms the strongroom of the former Zentralsparkasse branch on Sparkassaplatz 4 into a screen for anaglyph spatial projections. Red-and-green 3-D glasses are provided.
