Like a Leaf that Falls (A kiss on Kouter?)
In addition to Mystic Leaves by artist Jessica Diamond, Kouter features another work of art. The poem Zoals een blad dat valt by Lut De Block has been part of Ghent’s poetry tour for years and has been put on the corner of the square.
The poem refers to the Second World War, when the square was used as a deportation centre. Injas Devoldere made the work of art and milled the poem into a stainless steel book.
