On 6th of October 2012 the artist Markus Jeschaunig traveled with an Airship along a line from Graz to Maribor and filmed a high-resolution portrait of the 56 km long landscape area between the two capitals of culture. This publication documents Jeschaunig’s cartographic work, from “ISTANBUL on LINE” (2007) and “Urban Tomography” (2010) to the “Line-Flight Graz-Maribor” (2012). Text contributions by Aysen Ciravoglu, Werner Fenz, Erwin Fiala, Elisabeth Fiedler, Markus Jeschaunig, Joost Meuwissen, Wolfgang Oeggl and Dieter Spath illuminate the phenomenon of ‘line’ as an instrument of space exploration and make cross-references between the “mapping” and “acting” in Jeschaunig’s artistic practice.
