This work begins with a simple sculptural idea that is universally recognisable: the wall and the book. Conceived and Artistically Directed by Dario Vacirca, Meka Audet and Alex ben Mayor. The Great Wall of Books is both a show (performance) and an interactive sculptural installation for public space. As its name suggests the scale of the sculpture, standing 5 metres high and 10 metres wide, is a wall of books or a library in which caretakers (performers) live and work within. The sculpture is an interactive and responsive space in which the public store written and oral stories via visual text, vocal recording and multi-media. These stories are solicited in real time in the street and via workshops with the community. Objects, musings and selected stories are re-interpreted by the caretakers into cross-art outcomes This documentary follows the project to Macau, SAR China where the company undertook a three-month residency working with contemporary and traditional artists and community.
