Imitationen und Nachempfindungen von Masken, Figuren und Ethnographica, die eigens für den Verkauf an Fremde hergestellt werden (Souvenirkunst, Touristenkunst, Airport Art, Ethnokitsch), weisen gegenüber traditionellen Objekten Veränderungen auf.

Copies and imitations of African masks, figures, and ethnographic items, which are produced particularly for the tourist market (souvenir art, tourist art, airport art, ethnokitsch), must be adjusted to the cultural background of the buyer, to his cognitive system.

As a result of these changes, souvenirs do contain cultural elements of the tourist's world as well as cultural elements of the foreign world. Hence African airport art reflects western ideas of African objects. It is part of the tourist's culture as much as part of the foreign culture.... view less
