The Pursuit of the Fifth Freedom, 25th of August 2009
An SMS-walk staging the first application of the city of Lund for the title “European Capital of Culture 2014”, and its leading concept: the fifth freedom (still important in the second and final application developed in line with the opinion expressed by the jury).
The application suggests that you follow five traces to find the fifth freedom (an emotional freedom formed as a complement to the four rational and economic freedoms in the constitution of the European Union) : Find, Trace, Uncover, Change and Share.
The SMS-walk, The Pursuit of the Fifth Freedom, follows these suggested traces, and the question is: will the participants find the fifth freedom?
