Story Café by Johanna Lecklin

― Johanna Lecklin

In Johanna Lecklin's art project Story Café the visitor gets a free coffee in exchange for a story. The stories are recorded on video. The visitors can also watch videos of earlier stories that are shown in the café. Some of the stories are dramatised into short films. The project started 2004 in Broadway Market in London during an residency at Artsadmin and has been arranged in several art festivals, biennials and group exhibitions in more than ten countries. Lecklin has recorded around 400 stories in her cafés around Europe between 2004 and 2011. Visitors have been happy to share their stories in front of the camera and watch others’ stories. Lecklin has collected both very personal stories, anecdotes, traditional stories, travelogues and stories overheard on the bus or read on the internet.
