This installation has stayed with me since I saw it at PS1 in late 90s. So happy to search your work today and peer back in. Inspired by your work!

The installation is incredible!!! I was wondering how have you found all those almost "esoterical" books, related to mind, personality, and the human condition. Could stay in that room for weeks

A lot of thrift store browsing and used book shops.
