The
Infinite Library is an ongoing project by Daniel
Gustav Cramer and Haris
Epaminonda.
It is primarily an expanding archive of books, each created out
of pages of one or more found books and bound anew. The online catalogue
serves as an index.
'The
book objects (...)
are each made from pages of existing books removed from their bindings
and rebound as one. Some of these series loosely relate to each
other via a third element: geometrical shapes abstracted from the
images, computer-edited, and overprinted on the originals. The disparate
image stocks become intertwined and open on one another. Having
transcended any thematic organization, the loose pages now have
the potential to amalgamate into an infinite number of new books.
In so doing, they yield a library that defies conventional categorization.'
