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.
