'Day trippers are people who go on a day trip, right? Usually on a ferryboat or something. But it was kind of - you know, 'you're just a weekend hippie'. Get it?' 'Acid was coming on the scene, and we'd often do these songs about 'the girl who thought she was it.' Mainly the impetus for that used to come from John-- I think John met quite a few girls who thought they were it... But this was just a tongue-in-cheek song about someone who was a day tripper, a Sunday painter, a Sunday driver, somebody who was committed only in part to the idea. Where we saw ourselves as full-time trippers, fully committed drivers, she was just a day tripper.' The exhibition Day Tripper investigates the visitor, the tourist, the guest, the spectator, the toe dipper… What do you bring back from your holidays? Souvenirs, rocks, alcohol, chocolates, postcards, bottles of sand… The patron of the project is Andrius Tamaliūnas. |
