Description

Movie jungle fantasies and bamboo hideaways set the stage for Tiki style, a pop culture phenomenon like no other. With urban archeologist and Tiki sage Sven Kirsten, trace the Tiki trend from Gauguin’s exoticism and Holywood movie concepts to the elabourate temples built to celebrate Tiki as the god of recreation. Featuring hundreds of previously unpublished images, this is at once a visual feast, a cultural history and a tribute to a very particular vision of paradise.
