If you ever find yourself in Bologna, Italy, don't miss the Museum of Modern Art, or MAMbo. Because they have an installation by Slovakian artist Matej Kren: a house made entirely of books.

According to the website,

"The narrow inside space, multiplied and complicated by mirrors, evoke a sensation of sublime terror, an alteration referring to a puzzling infinity itself created to destabilize conventional spatial habits. Mirrors become an instrument to create illusion and, at the same time, to unmask it. Since the public can easily see themselves reflected in a false infinite – thus discovering the illusion – the problem becomes the latency of perception.

"Chosen because of their nature as seat of knowledge, as symbols of intrinsically human free thought, books are here “used” as raw materials for an artistic process existing and communicating on many distinct levels."

As the pictures illustrate, the project is a bit eerie, even if my first reaction is simply "I WANT TO LIVE IN IT!" After all, you may be surrounded by books, but if you ever tried to read one, the whole thing is liable to come toppling down on you.
