In the performative installation La Historia Comienza Aquí (The Story Begins Here), I am displaying, within the collective research project The Book Lovers, our complete artists' novels collection, with 598 titles. This collection is the result of our research on the artist's novel and it is the only one of its kind. This project has been generously supported by M HKA (Museum of Contemporary Art in Antwerp) since 2011 and it's still ongoing. The collection is available for public perusal and displayed on a specially designed display that organises it by genre (fantasy, eroticism, memoir, etc.), creating in this way different entrance points to the massive amount of text, making it accessible to the audience.
For the duration of the show, a number of trained performers read passages from selected artists' novels to the visitors on an intimate, one-to-one basis. The performers approach visitors following a pre-established conversation script, which will allow to understand whether the visitor is up to participate and, in that case, what kind of narrative they'd prefer to listen to. Passages are read from artists' novels from Salvador Dalí, Leonora Carrington, Yayoi Kusama, Benjamin Seror, Pablo Helguera, Pedro G. Romero, and Unica Zūrn, among others.
