hans overvliet | i.d. of inequality | condensed version
In our globalized world, there are many political contradictions: rich - poor, white - black, north - south, et cetera. In recent years you have also seen this contradiction increasingly clearly expressed in mobility. Especially in the western world, travelling has taken extreme forms with the rise of tourism, and the globalization of internationally oriented companies, research centers, universities, et cetera.
In short, mobility is currently one of the clearest examples of privilege.
The poster shows one of the few similarities between these different travellers, namely their luggage. The poignant difference is in the contents of these suitcases, bags and backpacks.
By snail-mail I sent the poster to places all over the planet where people put up the poster in their public spaces and mailed me the pictures of the event.
