The motto of the last three festival catalogues of
the international literature festival Berlin has been "Writing Space".
It picks up on a question André Breton once put to an illustrious
circle of writers and philosophers: "How influential is 'where you
write'?" We asked for individual responses and received many different
answers - short texts or even whole essays, often handwritten, not just
in all the different languages but also in various alphabets. The
invited authors sketched, photographed and made collages. So an atlas
of all the places in which writers turn words to sentences and texts
was created.
