`Idiom` By Slovak Artist Matej Kren In The Prague Municipal Library, Czech Republic Editorial Image

`Idiom` by Slovakian born artist Matej Kren in the Prague Municipal Library, Czech Republic. Matej Kren’s ‘Idiom’ book tower originally appeared in Sao Paulo’s International Biennial in 1995. It consists of hundreds and hundreds of books stacked in a cylindrical pattern with the overlapping style of a Jenga game. A narrow tear-shaped opening creates a ten-foot hole in the side of the tower. The colorful spines of the various books create a rainbow pattern on the outside, while on the inside the well-worn, yellow-tinged pages of the books cast a warm glow.
