On Brussel’s Place Saint-Josse, a newsstand opens its shutters, exposes its shopfront and displays its stalls.
Nothing could be more normal…
Emilio López-Menchero (BE/ES)
On closer inspection, however, something isn’t quite right.
None of these newspapers and magazines on display date from that day, that week, that month or even that year. We can still read about disasters, wars, weddings, royal or otherwise, crises, accidents, sports news, exploits, winning and losing teams, scandals of every colour, crossword puzzles, obituaries, horoscopes, celebrities rising and falling , rocketing and plummeting stocks, political, linguistic, community, regional, national, religious conflicts, ads, and so on, agony-aunts, letters from readers, news briefs, statistics, faces, events, headlines, subheadings, articles, photos, press cartoons, texts in French, Dutch, other languages, sentences, underlined or not, capital letters, small letters, bold, normal ,and italic print, and dates… expired.
All these newspapers are back-numbers and not up-to-date, and yet it seems as though we’re reading today’s news …
Emilio López-Menchero, who loves nothing more than stirring up trouble in the everyday (remember “CheckPoint Charlie”), has latched onto the question of “time” to which the festival is devoted… in a bid to position it in an up-to-datedness that is always already out-of-date.
