A Nation Will Fall Into Ruin If Its People Do Not Read Books
| Description: |
Inkjet prints, paper, cardboard. A book can carry ideas that are accessed by learning to read. First words then sentences that can be rearranged to make new meanings. We experience the freedom of turning thought into text. We can share ideas with others. We learn. So how do we arrive at a place where words are so threatening as to provoke such atrocities? Each book contains the same words to create one of three quotations relating to the act of reading. The brown paper slipcovers suggesting the wrappings of a purchase but also of forbidden goods sold from ‘under the counter’. |
