In 2010, artist Louis De Cordier started the construction of his Biblioteca Del Sol: an underground library where more than thousands of books and seeds are kept, and which is still being supplemented today. Far from volcanoes and nuclear power plants, this library should serve to preserve knowledge for future generations, even in the event of an apocalyptic disaster. This booklet documents the environment, construction and use of the Biblioteca Del Sol and includes a text by writer-poet Maarten Inghels and Plato's famous Allegory of the Cave.
