August by Hana Jakrlova
In August 2003 I traveled around popular European tourist destinations and documented the phenomena of the global tourism in Europe. I photographed the city tourists in Barcelona, Venice, Prague, Paris and London and "outdoors tourism" in Italian Dolomiti, Brittany in France, and the West of England. "…Cultures of tourist destinations become systematically sterilized and packaged for mass consumption, and the concept of elsewhere grows increasingly irrelevant… World tourism turned the various corners of the world into places in which authenticity is a giant performance put on by the locals…" Taras Grescoe: "End of Elsewhere"
