20000 books by color
Well, I was thinking a lot about places I’ve been inside dreams, where I’m familiar with a building or a room, or like when I’m in a house in a dream and there are combinations of things in the house that don’t exist in reality. So I wanted to do this project, where I have a giant bookstore full of books, and instead of them all being organized normally, they’ll all be organized in rows of color. Through some kind of herculean task, some kind of massive effort, to change the entire space into something that you would see in a dream.
There Is Nothing Wrong In This Whole Wide World, an installation of 20,000 color- coordinated books by Chris Cobb.
