Commodities involved: Second hand books, Used magazines, Good will
A circular, alternative economy where one book is exchanged for another in a gifting system based in obligation, that builds relations between humans (Marcel Maus). The book house is beautifully painted with inspirational quotes on it. Both the people who participate in this exchange and passersby are profiting. “I love books. I’m interested in the fact that it’s a postponed exchange – you don’t see the person you exchange with and you don’t know where your book is going. It relies on trust”.
