This artistic wall installation is based on 6,000 quotes from highbrow and popular culture with contributions from eminent thinkers and artists from all over Europe, collected beforehand via a public competition. After the unveiling of the installation, passers-by will be able to take the quotes with them. All that will remain is the transparent frame that held them – the wall disappears. The installation will go on display in ten European countries – including three times in Belgium – from summer 2020 during the German Presidency of the Council of the European Union.
