    since these are in an art gallery setting, they strongly remind me of Wendy Jacob's breathing walls and hugging chairs.

    check 'em out if they sound interesting.

    They do sound interesting. I hunted down photos of the chair, but nothing for the walls.

    The cat loves the rhythmic breathing of the possesed books.
