Against tourism #4







Once upon a time, all that was left from a trip abroad were a few products, preferably bought at the airport. Those were the days of bottles of wine and boxes of chocolates, nothing related to poetry or prose whatsoever. 

Today, one is left with a bunch of selfies.

When they ‘re posted in real time, selfies project the longing of tourists to find themselves around friends and family once again, or anywhere else in the world for that matter, wherever your followers on Instagram might check your Story from.

His plane flies and her (cruise) ship sails, and yet tourists never really leave home. 

Through the pandemic of selfies we became conscious that tourists can rather be located everyware but from the country they pretend to be visiting. 

Their greatest triumph: 

“reducing the turnover time of consumption as close as possible to zero.”
