Because silence should be in the library! This is what the incomparable Misha Galustyan said in one of his roles, and this rule is the most fair when it comes not about a simple library, but about someone's dwelling. And the dwelling is an igloo built from books - this is such a strange but original installation Miler Lagos … From books that could not be created, as soon as they were not involved in contemporary art! They were used to create paper sculptures, turn them into an installation in the form of a Ford Falcon car, a tower made of books about Abraham Lincoln and a book house in the Center for Contemporary Culture in Lisbon. Here's another option for making literature a part of visual art: Miler Lagos built a domed structure out of it, recreating the traditional Eskimo dwelling.
Of course, in the original, the igloo is built from snow or ice bricks, but this is what they are rich in, as they say. The book igloo, neatly made of bricks in the form of novels, fairy tales, reference books, encyclopedias, textbooks and plays, is part of the exhibition at the MagnanMetz Gallery and is called Home. A home for those who cannot imagine their life without literature, and like no one else understands that knowledge is power, and that a book will surely give an answer to any question, and, if necessary, a roof over your head.
