ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND WORDS IN SEARCH OF AN AUTHOR
“What matter who’s speaking, someone said, what matter who’s speaking?”
ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND WORDS IN SEARCH OF AN AUTHOR is part of the project AUTHENTICITY AND FEEDBACK which discusses future forms of authorship, explores new modes of existence in literature, and culminated in a festival at the ESPACE DIAPHANES in Berlin from the 21st to the 23rd of November. The texts will be presented at the event and will form the entirety of a special issue of the print and digital magazine DIAPHANES.
In the face of fast-changing writing cultures, DIAPHANES is venturing an experiment: 100 authors from the most diverse backgrounds and languages are invited to produce a text of exactly 1,000 words in the first person.
This combined with 41 Photographs by Julian Röder and a Poster campaign present the content for the Website. All the elements are displayed randomly and are seemingly in no connection to each other. The aim of the designers from Studio Last was to built a website tailored to this concept without being random or redundant but surprising.
