The documentary film Zwischennutzung centers on a building that once housed the “Spitzauer-Weiser” meat factory in Simmering, Vienna’s eleventh district. Here the factory serves as a collective setting and narrative hinge connecting protagonists and their fields of work. This filmic essay depicts the image of a site in the flux of temporary use and in the process of disappearing. A critical light is shed on economic mechanisms of eviction in urban spaces.
