This tour performance is a deliberately shoddy tour which throws together texts dragged from the internet which don’t fit together, pumps kitsch music over them and is delivered in a shiny golden suit. It is not, however, a simple parody of low quality tourism, it becomes something else through this deliberate focus and offers a space of critique where one is often lacking.
In the case of this first iteration of the tour, it took place within an unusual location: Nantougucheng Shenzhen. This is a small historic neighborhood that was previously neglected and remade by workers. It has, more recently, been redeveloped and its history remade and repurposed.
