This is from a text about an art exhibition that includes a video installation. The previous paragraph describes the film within a film projected onto a wall, in other words, there is an "actor" being filmed while he is filming.
The sentence is:
Umgekehrt wird dieses individuelle Aneignungsmoment von objektiven Gegebenheiten wie Raumklang, Lärm, Blickschranken und anderen Sichtbeeinträchtigungen gebrochen.
Thanks in advance.

obstacles/obstructions
you might want to ask the client more specifically about what is meant, but at first glance it seems to just be a matter of something obstructing the view of the piece

restricted view
Often used for theatre seats that have pillars etc in the way.
I don't know how you can differentiate Blickschranken and Sichtbeeinträchtigungen though. Perhaps best to rephrase the sentence and put them together?

screening partitions/panels
It's a bit hard to say without seeing the actual set-up and construction involved, but the Blickschranken are actual physical panels this should fit.

or: "obstructing screens", since "screening" could be confused with the video presentation/projection.
