The Bottom of My Shelf

The Bottom Of My Shelf proposes approaching a bookshelf without any intention in mind: trying to get lost in the spines, taking in all the different colors, textures, and typefaces. Thinking about how their dimensions vary all the time, or how they otherwise form themes and collections. In this way standing in front of a bookshelf becomes a sort of dérive, with the eye left to wander and rest on whatever it sees fit.

This is the first part of a two-piece project: a book and a website –working as a public online archive around the idea of books and booksleves being treated as a volume in space–. You can visit the website here.
