Everyone has their own personal linguistic repertoire based on ­cultural and social backgrounds. We have compared languages ​​and language forms with each other and developed a linguistic playground ­together with the children of 7 Austrian schools. The shuffling and switching of playing cards represent the variety of possible combinations and assemblies of languages. This touring exhibition is a construction kit of 60 wooden boards which enables

a setup without tools. Flexible variations of presentations can be adapted

to the changing exhibition space.
