Festival history

The American town of Aspen is a traditional Western town with a colourful history. In the 19th century it attracted speculators who hoped to strike it rich in the silvermines. At the same time Aspen is modern: now, in the second half of the 20th century, Aspen is a well-known ski resort, visited by people who have the desire and the possibility to show their wealth: corporate and show business celebrities and people who like to associate with them. Both residents and visitors show the extreme sides of our consumption oriented society in their behaviour, clothing and way of life.
