A Tour of Tourists
An audio tour / intervention in Stuttgart, Germany. Visitors to Stuttgart were asked questions designed to describe them in the same language which Stuttgart Tourist Board uses to describe the city (enticing / sophisticated / inventive / relaxing). The responses were then edited together to form an audio tour of the physical spaces of the city where tourists congregate. In this way the spectacle and festishisation of tourism marketing is playfully re-contextualised onto a human scale.
This project was supported by Arttours and the British Council in Germany. It is currently in testing.
