NO PLACE LIKE HOME
The solo exhibition NO PLACE LIKE HOME presents three video works by Clemens Wilhelm on the connection of mass tourism and mass photography: SIMULACRA takes you on a hyperrealistic trip through a Chinese copy of the world. THE TOURIST is a performance in the vast landscapes of Iceland in which the aesthetics of National Geographic and Caspar David Friedrich clash with porno videos. THE MOST PHOTOGRAPHED MAN IN BERLIN shows 1000 Facebook photos which document Wilhelm's attempt to become a Berlin tourist attraction. If you can see the whole world online, why leave your home and become a tourist?
