Insurgent Pages, Infinity Pages
Inspired by
Borges, I created my library universe with
contemporary book miniatures separated in old typographic drawers sections.
An obscure, suspended
system, composed of Libraries named as some of his short-stories or literary
influences, in relation with the contents of his collections.
It is organized in Main
Libraries or Libraries on Libraries and Satellite Libraries, located in
specific geographic sites. They have an atmosphere according to their own
cultural features, in distinct moments, but they interlace as well as the human
evolution history. All those libraries contain countless galleries supplied
with ladders that access the endless shelves full of files and text or
illustrated books.
There are books of several
shapes: wood and ivory tablets, papyrus rolls, codices of parchment, Japanese
sewing notebooks, book biding and a list of contemporary structures, among
others.
There are books about
almost anything: books about books, architecture, religion, biography,
collectibles, stories, curiosities, geography, feminism, arts, music, movies,
photography, catalogues, dictionaries, politics, almanacs, newspapers.
