A tower can be a marker in a landscape, a device for separation, a means for control or power, a sign of human ambition. For Jozef Wouters,
fascinated by towers, building one, foremost, means claiming its potential as a tool for communication. In What is it that I have done? Jozef Wouters makes an ambiguous attempt to capture from different perspectives the story of the rise of one particular tower in a field next to the railroad of a small village somewhere between Leuven and Brussels. This tower - his tower - became the main character in the online-diary which was kept during the construction period. Now that the tower is gone, its parts dispersed and shattered, the field once again an ordinary field, he wonders about what is left, "what is it that I have done?". This publication with texts, footnotes and drawings creates an entry into the motives and results of the research project of Jozef Wouters as a participant of the 12-month research training of a.pass a.s. This book may very well be, just like the tower playing the main role in it, a successfully failing tool for communication, created to be misunderstood. One thing is for sure, this tower had the power to make trains stop.
