Library Dominoes

Back




I did this fairly spontaneously at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign's ACES Library. As a conceptual art project, it pokes fun at and criticizes the monotony and strictness of institutions and libraries. It's all real - no tricks here! It was set up in one dominoe line, but filmed in four takes. After I finished the last take, 4 hours into the project, the librarian finally came up to investigate the ruckus. She waved her finger and kicked me out and wouldn't let me help pick up the books. Lucky for her I had kept all the books in their shelved order - easy cleanup!

If anyone wants to do that, run out of the building before the librarian finds out

I'm surprised the librarian didn't realize what was going on. Also that she didn't find it funny... not all libraries are serious places....
