Mitteleuropa
This speculative project constructs a fictional narrative around Mitteleuropa, blending reality and fiction through symbols such as Habsburg “lions,” flags, a custom typeface, Eurovision-inspired idents, and a gift shop. Starting from the ambiguity of Mitteleuropa as a cultural and historical concept, the project investigates how collective narratives and shared beliefs are shaped, transformed, and often simplified into stereotypes. By revisiting its roots, Mitteleuropa is reframed not as a nostalgic or commercial myth, but as a space historically connected to dissent, critique, and resistance to the status quo.
