Library is an abstract space which can be used for the sake of a new imagination. The project constitutes a library which has never come to exist, but there is a knowledge in it which we should possess.
By fitting two monumental paintings to the doorways, I disturbed the strict symmetrical harmony of the historical library. Paintings with the folded empty shelves created the illusion of the empty space, absence.
