When is a book considered a book? When can we define it as an inhabited space? This work investigates the book’s performative quality.
The spaces it creates, and the audience it gathers. The installation consists of seven volumes that display the inhabited space of the book. Seven volumes echo other books. As a space of sharing, Volume occupies Pages at ArtVerona through titles selected from our personal library, for the way that they describe and narrate the book object as an inhabited space. Similar to a room with books stacked on a bedside table, a living room with several volumes for display, or a bookcase shelf, Volume presents four installations, which will unfold during the four days of the fair.
