Kafkanistan InvitationKafkanistan - passport (SmileyWhalla - Lukas Birk)

The country’s “passport” has a warning just under the cover: Kafkanistan is a country perception. The authorities cannot be held responsible for any mental harm or damages. Tourists entering Kafkanistan are liable for their own actions, thoughts and misconceptions. Please declare any inappropriate clothes as well as firearms and alcohol. (BeijingToday)

In the playful opening ceremony, guests receive faux passports and customs stamps at the door from guards dressed in Afghan police uniforms. In another installation area, called Paradise, visitors will have the opportunity to try on burqas, the traditional garment worn by women in some Islamic countries. (CityWeekend)

Kafkanistan Tourists Dressing Up

Although the project is laced with commentary on politics and war, Birk says the intent was never political. “The project is all about the tourists’ story about the world that people never know. Actually, it is not about Afghanistan, it is about the tourists who went to Afghanistan. (BeijingToday)


Kafkanistan Stories (Wolfshit, Osama Bin Laden Candy etc)

Kafkanistan Stories (dressing up, shooting with Ak47 etc)
