A Gigantic Tunnel Of Books – ‘Scanner’ by Matej Kren

As part of a local children’s book fair, Slovakian artist Matej Kren was invited by the Museum of Modern Art in Bologna, Italy to install a massive fortress composed of thousands upon thousands of books:

The piece — “Scanner” — is meant to evoke “a sensation of sublime terror, an alteration referring to a puzzling infinity itself created to destabilize conventional spatial habits.”

 …Uh, what he said [more photos found here]

“you’re right Ray… No human being would stack books that way” hehe
