An enormous bookshelf, 50 feet wide and reaching from floor to ceiling, filled with thousands of identical, leather-bound books. Each book contains 410 pages of seemingly random letters. However, hidden within this chaos are coherent passages - anything from famous quotations to entire sonnets. Visitors are invited to pull out books and flip through them. When a coherent passage is found and the book is placed on a special pedestal, the relevant page is projected onto a large screen on the opposite wall. The installation is a physical representation of Jorge Luis Borges' concept of an infinite library containing every possible combination of letters.
