About:

Supercharger-blown collective offers ‘Easy Asylum Booth ‘Bundu Edition’’, a satirical and situation specific presentation which interrogates European asylum policies, (and attitudes to immigration as a whole) by inverting hegemonic narratives. The collective uses provocative spectacle as a vehicle to facilitate social engagement, partying, shisha smoking, music and political dialogue.

 

Easy Asylum Booth ‘Bundu Edition’ is another chapter in the shifting, magical-real vision derived from the fictitious nation of Botrovia. The booth is a ‘pop up embassy’ offering instant refugee status to anyone seeking asylum in Botrovia. Applicants just need to demonstrate their loyalty by offering 7 x 7cm of their skin for a tattoo specially chosen for them by Skin of our Skin (SooS®), the Botrovian Ministry of Immigration and executed by a flying robotic tattoo gun.

 

Benefits to refugee status include a direct telephone connection with the Botrovian Leader (‘Our Leader is Available’); Training in ‘DASHT (Drone Asylum Seeker Herding Techniques)’ with a fully featured computer game; a lifetime subscription to ‘Botrovian Seeker (Your Guide to Asylum Success)’  plus access to numerous helpful and supportive infographics, interviews and seminars.

 

Partnerships
