Administrative offices, banks, shopping centres… in their work focusing on architecture, power and capitalism, the Swiss artistic duo Igor Cardellini and Tomas Gonzalez propose a surprising visit that borrows its codes from guided tours to archaeological sites or museums. Here in Marseille at the Centre Bourse, L’ ge d’Or presents the American-style shopping mall as a kind of fake globalised city. Wearing headphones and accompanied by a guide, visitors discover the spaces, evolutions and challenges of this emblematic temple of mass consumption, replete with promises of happiness. A well-documented, erudite, fun experience that is adapted to the host city.
