HOMMAGE À … IV

Lili Dujourie

TASTE THE WORLD

Wendy Morris
‘Taste the World’ explores tourist notions of the ‘Third World’ as a playground for Europe. The title is derived from a promotional brochure in which travellers are encouraged to “taste the world”. The subtext makes clear that this ‘world’ is mainly there for the Eurostractrates with their unbridled leisure time and financial means...
