Virtual archives are created by simultaneously „being in space“, re-animating hybrid impressions of space, time, memory and knowledge. The Würstelprater and its historical development since 1895, between real places and fictional architectures, introduces concepts of representation, authenticity, visibility and stories of simulation, renaming and virtuality. The potential to make archives spatially experienceable as scripts for storytelling –documentary or fictional –enables history to be experienced and actualized as a story.
