David Horvitz is 25 years old, lives in New York and is passionate about traveling. As he is a penniless artist and attends an expensive school, he has come up with a very special way to finance his passion. For a few months now, people have been able to send him on a trip themselves via internet bank transfer: His website offers everything from a trip to the banks of the Hudson River (20 dollars) to a trip to the starry sands of Okinawa (1,626 dollars) or a trip to Perth in Australia (3,143 dollars), the furthest place in the world from New York. The financiers always receive something in return: pictures of receipts, a bag of sand, a stone, a postcard. Recently, he visited deserted places on Roosevelt Island every day and read Dostoyevsky's classic "Anna Karenina" there. 400 dollars were collected from all over the world. Despite all his success with this self-promotion strategy, Horvitz never really looks happy in the pictures. It is quite possible that his project is an amalgamation of art, wanderlust and emotional crisis management. In any case, a visit to the psychologist, including a tape recording of the session, is also available for purchase on Horvitz's website.
