As a tourist country, New Zealand has put much effort in the tourism industry, offering detailed tourist information and tours to promote its wonderful landscape. During the art village residence, Yu Cheng-Ta has transformed the tourist-like experience into his project "A Practice of City Guide: Auckland." In the work, Yu Cheng-Ta has made himself as a tourist guide. Just like those television hosts of the travel/adventure programs, Yu also adopts a foreigner's perspective to re-introduce the scenery of the country. The only difference is that he chooses a foreigner's language, through which he provides a discussion about the interplay of these cultures and the re-position of the characters. With such a rehearsal-like shooting style, Yu also re-constructs the relationship among the locations, the scenes, and the production team.
