The Brief

The project prepared for a little bookstore right in the center of the Slovak capital city of Bratislava, which specializes only on quality, artistic literature written in local language. Since the bookstore sells only few books, we wanted to show that there are readers, who love quality literature. So, we started a week-long event, in which we asked the readers to show their existence by reading their book in a bookstore window, in front of everyone walking on the street. The event was soon discovered by national media and the bookstore turnover rose by 700%.
