THE PLAZA OF INFINITE NAMES



August - October 2006
Huesca, Spain

Everyday between August 15th and October 15th, a Plaza in the historic center of Huesca was given a new name. Located at the intersection of two streets, a lively gathering place for neighbors of an impoverished community, the Plaza was never given an official name.

A red mailbox was set up so that anyone who wanted to name the Plaza could submit his or her requests. Every morning, a different name was chosen, and a new sign put up.

Freedom Square, Gate of Heaven, Rebecco’s Corner, Street Where We All Gather, and Plaza of Never-ending Stories were among the 268 names that were collected.
