THE GUIDED TOUR (2016) is a site-specific performative interaction for a cityscape developed in the city of Budapest by Sophia Bulgakova and Cécil Pina during the ArtScience Interfaculty project Budapest Interventions in 2016.
It is designed specifically to reflect upon the city and its environment, as well as redirect and reimagine our relation to it through storytelling and perception adjustment devices. The tour allows the audience to take objects out of their usual context and surroundings as an intention to stimulate and observe new narratives developing in existing spaces. The work creates illusory spaces and optical illusions for participating audiences, as well as recreating history and reevaluates how we get to know a foreign city through a prism of reinventing a guided tour.
In 2016 Sophia Bulgakova and Cécil Pina invited people passing by next to St. Stephen's Basilica in Budapest to participate in a free guided tour around the square, they performed The Guided Tour intervention with three groups of participants on the 19th of February 2016.
