city one minutes

citybooks is a EU-project and creates city portraits in the shape of texts, photos and videos.

citybooks is an artistic, principally literary residential project in which cities, artists and the general public meet in a multimedia environment. Together with local partner, deBuren (as the main organizer) was asking five authors and a photographer to take up residence for two week in a European city.
For the first time in the history of humanity more people live in the cities than outside of them. Cities are becoming politically even more important as well as more interesting on a cultural level. The United States of Europe are, for now, a fiction of the political imagination. deBuren and the partners in Europe would like to stimulate the creation of The United Cities of Europe – on a cultural level.
