Presentations

La Bibliothèque sonore des femmes was born from the idea that perhaps we hadn't read enough female writers because we didn't know them. It offers an installation consisting of 15 rotary dial telephones. When you pick up the receiver of each telephone, you are connected to a female writer from the past through a recorded monologue, invented by a contemporary author. In this installation, the telephone is like a miniature theater stage, creating a unique, intimate, and surprising connection with the listener. The experience is never trivial; it leaves a mark, the feeling of having experienced something special. At Poetik Bazar, you will be connected with Octavia E. Butler, Adelheid Duvanel, Alejandra Pizarnik, Olympe de Gouges, Audre Lorde, Susan Sontag, Toni Morrison, Marianne Van Hirtum, Marie Vieux Chauvet, Marina Tsvetaeva, Emily Dickinson, Sappho, Fadwa Touqan, Monique Wittig, and Isabelle Eberhardt.
