Olympic Trade Mission Promoting the Chinese Product
2008, Book + DVD
Millions of things we surround ourselves with are labelled ‘Made in China’. These brightly coloured plastic products have saturated world markets and have become part of our everyday lives.
But how exactly do the Chinese know what items we like to put in our windowsills and decorate our homes with, and how and where are these products manufactured?
In March 2008, the Olympic Trade Mission Promoting the Chinese Product (i.e. Melle Smets and myself) embarked on a quest to China to find out.
Upon returning home, we were invited by Museum De Paviljoens (Almere, NL) to show a video about our findings. Moreover, the museum commissioned a book about our epic journey. Click here to find out more.
