A Tourist'S Guide To San Diego And Tijuana: General View
title A Tourist'S Guide To San Diego And Tijuana: General Viewdescription For her inSITE97 project, Melanie Smith created "The Tourists' Guide to San Diego and Tijuana/La Guia turistica de San Diego y Tijuana," an installation at 958 Fifth Avenue in downtown San Diego. A spoof on a tourist information agency, the installation included, among other elements, large photographs of the region, postcards with commonly found imagery from the local landscape and city, and a tourist guidebook listing on the back the various hot spots in the city. The installation was a commentary on the massive tourism industry in San Diego and Tijuana and the loss of borders when dealing with consumers and their material desires. --inSITE97 San Diego (Calif.)
