Maaskant Prize 2016: multimedia tour ‘Leisure’

nov 14th, 2016 | Landschap, Stad, Tracy in Nederland tours, Video, Vrije tijd

Leisure has not only become an enormous industry, but various aspects of our lives are becoming more focused on entertainment. We are living in a ‘Belevium’ (entertainment world) in which we amuse ourselves to death. But when others – tourists – want to play along, we are not so happy anymore.

All three multimedia tours that I created on the occasion of being awarded the Maaskant Prize 2016 can be seen on www.tracyinnederland.nl
