Wow. bookshelfporn: Book Building of the Day: As part of a local children’s book fair, Slovakian artist Matej Kren was invited by the Museum of Modern Art in Bologna 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 can be found here. (via thedailywhat + inhabitat)
