It kind of reminds me of the Library of Wadi-Ben Dahr (not sure if this name is correct), an installation that was in the museum of women in the arts about three years ago. It was a room filled with furniture all covered in pages of books, and containing books filled with real things like insects or jewels against the pages. All the items in it were themed with the pages covering it e.g. the chessboard was made out of Sun Tzu’s Art of War, the umbrella of Shakespeare’s plays etc.
I can’t seem to find out any more information about this though. -

This is what schoolchildren do in textbooks every day.
Seems like a waste of a book.

I like it. It’s a new take on something old. What’s not to like, except for the destruction of old books, maybe.

Wow I only saw the city scape reflecting off the water the 2nd time I looked at this, I would’ve like it just as much if it wasn’t on a book page, it definitely seems like a waste

I’m trying to figure out how he got rid of the words at the top, leaving only the letter “i”.
I don’t like the idea of defacing books, but if they’re old and are already missing pages, they’re not good for much else. And what would this piece be without the book page? A drawing of an umbrella and a cityscape. That’s been done already, I’m sure.

Yeah, it’s Tom Phillips “Humument” all over… An innocent recreation of another’s art, or just a typical po-mo ripoff? Makes me wonder…
