Bienvenue re-viewed: representing and reframing hospitality in contemporary French visual culture

该项目考察了法国当代视觉文化中待客之道的表现形式，法国是世界文化生产的领导者，被誉为“好客的国家”。通过对选定的21世纪电影、摄影和艺术的跨媒体分析，该项目不仅将展示法国视觉文化对当今法国待客之道的揭示，还将展示它如何告知人们对待客之道本身的理解，如“内部”和“外部”、“主人”和“客人”之间的关系。也就是说，该项目将通过艺术家对概念和实践的重新定义，结合当代法国的当前背景，阐明艺术家对传统好客参数的挑战。

This project examines representations of hospitality across contemporary visual culture in France, a world leader in cultural production mythologised as 'the hospitable nation'. Through a cross-media analysis of selected 21st-century film, photography and art, this project will show not only what French visual culture reveals about French hospitality today, but also how it informs an understanding of hospitality itself, as the relationship between 'inside' and 'outside', 'host' and 'guest'. Namely, this project will illuminate artists' challenge to traditional parameters of hospitality through their redefinition of both the concept and its practices in engagement with the current contexts of contemporary France.
