In 2007, I was asked by the White Club art space in Salzburg to make an intervention on the subject of "mobility" using a bus they had provided. At that time, I had been living in Europe for 12 years under legally precarious conditions. My residence permit in Switzerland finally expired on August 21, 2007. This legal situation also formed the basis of the PUBLIC DEPORTATION project. From August 6 to 11, 2007, I had the bus I had been given set up on Helvetiaplatz in Zurich, which contained all my possessions. On the large-format posters attached to its sides was written:
"Get me out of here! Ladies and gentlemen, my residence permit expires on August 21. Unfortunately, I don't have a driver's license. Please help me get out, do something good for your country!"
The first person to respond to the appeal would be entrusted with driving the bus. The media (WOZ, Tagesanzeiger, Vorwärts, Art-TV, Radio Lora and others) were actively involved in the campaign and reported on site.

Additional
Aus der Videodokumentation der Performance entstand eine gleichnamige Videoarbeit (2008). Das Videomaterial (insg. 24 Stunden) wurde hierfür in einzelne Szenen geschnitten und mit jeweils entsprechendem Datum und Uhrzeit versehen. Jegliche Zensur oder dramaturgische Gewichtung wurden bei der Bearbeitung des Materials vermieden. Dieses Material ist vorhanden, jedoch zu umfangreich für den Upload.
Remark
Alle Stils stammen aus der sehr umfangreichen Videodokumentation. Diese liegt in Form einer später entstandenen Videoarbeit "Öffentliche Abschiebung" vor. Zudem existiert eine Pressemappe mit allen zum Projekt veröffentlichten Artikeln.
