Can writing represent authenticity? Are texts applicable to refer to the world? When readers follow the train of thought of the texts, walk on the roads paved by the texts, and enter a place people seldom visit, or where people gather together, reading seems to take them to the world constructed by the author at such moment.

​

Holzwege is a project inviting indie bookstores to respond to “the authentic world” with books they selected. The bookstores wrote guided text for their select works, inviting audiences/readers to get into the forest of words, just like what Martin Heidegge mentioned in his work Holzwege: there are many different routes, but they all lead us to the same end. When we walk on a winding road, we can appreciate a variety of scenes and explore the polysemic yet real world along the road.
