A phonenumber with the description 'Call for a miracle' as part of the exhibition 'Allemaal wonderen' (translation: All miracles) of Museum Catharijneconvent in Utrecht, the Netherlands. Once someone diales the number there are three options. The first option leads to a prerecorded story, a miracle experienced by one of the museum's employees, who survived the 2004 tsunami in the Indian Ocean. The second option grants the listener the chance to request their own supernatural event and the third option opens the possibility to record their own miraculous experience.This work was designed as an alternative way to allow an audience to experience the exhibition without physically visiting the museum, due to Covid-19 restrictions.
