A Tourist World

Více o knize

This entertaining and often hilarious exhibition catalog from SchirnKunsthalle Frankfurt is a thought-provoking exploration of our globalsociety through the tourist experience. The curators see tourism assomething that perpetuates clichés about cultural and national identity;real landscapes blur into artificial geographies like ski resort-themedwater parks, indoor beaches with synthetic sun lamps, or aircraftcarriers equipped with roller coasters and volcanoes. More than 30artists create photography, multimedia installations, sculpture andprose travelogues that veer between the authentic and the absurd,attempting to answer the how should tourists interact withthe bogus world of tourism, and what should they learn?
