The Hildegard Project is a group of German/Finnish artists who through a democratic, artistic process of exploration, defines works of art as material to develop the Hildegard Project sculpture. Special Edition in Gallery IG Bildende Kunst in Vienna is the biggest gig of Hildegard Project. The German-Finnish artists' collective faces the challenge of developing a group of nearly 40 participants and create together an common installation that includes paintings, drawings, objects, sculpture, installation, photography and video.

Over a period of 5 days the artists came together in the rooms of the gallery to approach through discussion and action the various forms of presentation, the outlines of which were laid out on the floor with adhesive tape. Audio recordings convey the constant ups and downs, developments, rejections and the intense conflicts with their moments of bewilderment and discovery. The process with its varying participants is recorded visually with photos.

The entire exploration process transforms itself into the medium of the tape images on the gallery floor. The presentation of the artwork on the upper parts of the gallery walls documents them as material – at the same time they regain their original intention.
