POLITICAL TOURISM AGENCY
Visualize transition from communism to democracy.
Picture being a politician but without any responsibility.
Poltur – Government
Poltur – Opposition
Poltur – Statements
The project of a virtual traveling agency is an ironic analysis of the Romania political scene and of its reflection in the media. Our proposal of a political tourism agency is similar to the extreme sport tours or the cultural traveling packages. We address to those who wish to witness and experiment the transition from communism to democracy, the development of democracy and how the transition actually feels like. Surely all this is purely fictional and this agency is solely an art project.
“You want to see how the transition from communism to democracy is actually taking place? You want to see how it is like to be a member of the government? You want to know how it feels like to be in the opposition? You want to take part in the reconstruction of a country? Or maybe you want to fatten your wallet? Now we are offering you this opportunity: Political Tourism
Liberalism? Social Democracy? You got to be kidding! It’s Romania.”
