2020, oral publication, storytelling contract with librarians, line of salt
On the 20th of January I donated “Echo II: La Cloche” to the library of Sint Lucas Hogeschool Antwerpen.
A daily line of salt marks the entrance of the library. This line is linked to “Echo II: La Cloche”, an oral publication written especially for the library, offering an alternative history of the place. The story is told once to the librarians and is retold by them by heart to anybody who asks about the line of salt or the story itself. The librarians signed a contract stating that they will retell the story as accurately as possible and that they will pass it on to new librarians, keeping the story alive.
The library can be found at the Van Schoonbekestraat n° 143 in Antwerp and is open from Monday to Friday from 8.30 to 16.30. They are closed on holidays and during school vacations.
Sadly the project has ended due to unforeseen and practical changes, both local and global.
