“Should I run out of words, I would first try to dance. Then I would invent new words, but no one would understand them; I guess I would start to steal other people’s words, and I would end up imitating the birds in the sky.”
Yoru No Hara
There is a room filled with piles and piles of books: these are “books of ideas” written by authors ranging from the ancient Roman Pliny to philosophers like Bakunin, and individuals such as Lucio Mansilla, Lynn Margulis and Lao-Tze. Some of the books in the collection are Virginia Woolf’s A Room of One’s Own, Fukuyama’s The End of History, and Alexander Von Humboldt’s Views of Nature, among many others.
Loose phrases deprived of context and placed next to one another serve to build an anachronistic collective discourse. This is a relationship between ideas that creates a strange form of appropriation and profanation, an unexpected synchronic connection between individuals, ideas, and books.
