These unwitting book-sculptures from the main library at the University of Salford (outside of Manchester, UK) fascinated me when I saw them in July. The placement was site-specific, in spaces that were part of the library's main floor but not in any sense an art gallery. These books were assembled/piled in unused corners. It felt like the next stop was the loading dock and the recycling truck. I don't exactly mourn the "passing" of these books, but these images fill me with questions and thoughts. What questions and thoughts do you have when you reflect on the pictures above?
