Sebastian Acker : Traces of Other Places Hardback
Hardback
Description
The Eiffel Tower in China? Sebastian Acker: Traces of Other Places unites photos, film stills, and notes from an often surreal-looking journey undertaken by the Berlin-based artist Sebastian Acker (*1981) and his collaborator, Phil Thompson, through China's copy-laden landscape, where not only have they erected sections of European cities, but also built a replica of an entire Austrian village.
Simultaneously contemporary and anachronistic, the pictures in the book resist simple definitions of authenticity and imitation, not only by examining the theme of the reality experienced in the replicas, but also by shedding light on the tourism industry's performative promotion of the European originals. Text in English and German.
