La Bibliothèque, une exposition collective
In The Library of Babel, the writer Jorge Luis Borges conceived of an unheard-of library that would contain all the 400-page books that could be written using all the possible combinations of the letters of the alphabet, space and punctuation marks. This library would contain all the books that have been written, all the books that will be written and all the books that could be written.
Visitors to the exhibition will be invited to wander through an immersive installation inspired by this library, which has been freed from the only standard Borges still imposed on it: the format of the books, whose unusual shapes will amaze you.
