Foreigners out! Schlingensiefs Container, alternately named "Wien-Aktion", "Please Love Austria—First European Coalition Week", or "Foreigners Out—Artists against Human Rights", is an art project and television show from 2000 that took place within the scope of the annual Wiener Festwochen. It was created by Christoph Schlingensief and directed by Paul Poet. Realising public xenophobia and the new hate politics in the most drastic ways possible, he installed a public concentration camp right in the middle of Vienna. The film and performance was made in a style that imitated the show Big Brother. It was critically aimed both at certain forms of television entertainment and at a latent xenophobia still thriving in the whole world. It created an incredibly heated week, capturing the European right-wing drift in real time and exposing dormant and open xenophobia for the world to see.
