About
The haec.city website originated as a pandemic-era project designed to mimic the experience of visiting a bookshop during a time when those spaces were inaccessible. Translating the ritual of rummaging into the virtual sphere, clicking on an image substitutes picking up a book that catches our eye, creating an opportunity for serendipitous discoveries absent of algorithms.
