Somebody once said that the tourist industry consists of taking people who would be better off at home to places that would be better off without them. Personally, I?m obsessed by massive structures, concrete, and the ways in which we spend our time. So this summery playlist is dedicated to Barcelona, because in summertime this city, like so many others, becomes a shadow of itself.
A gigantic dome that simulates a steamy and enigmatic tropical island 20 minutes from Berlin.
A scale model of Jerusalem in Buenos Aires, featuring a re-enactment of the Stations of the Cross and the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
A future independent city-stage show created to provide employment for the dwarfs of Communist China.
A museum of civilisation, in Hamburg, that is more interesting than civilisation itself.
A visit to Auschwitz that?s like taking a stroll around Rome.
