Looking back on a moving German-Polish history, the Upper Silesian region around Katowice is one of today’s flourishing Polish economic metropolises. Years of shifting borders, occupations, expulsions, settlements, and evacuations shaped its identity. The tramnetwork of Katowice and its surrounding cities, dating back to 1894, now belongs to one of the largest transit systems in the world. In cooperation with the Katowice Cultural Institute “City of Gardens” a historic tram from the 1980s was brightly illuminated and sent out on a nighttime journey, without passengers, scheduled service, stops or a destination. In the darkness of night the “ghost train” seemed to be on its way to “nowhere” like a glistening white cube, set free from its original function, history, and materiality, without background and without destination, without identity.
