The Library: a Physiological Study

King County, WA (2003-2007)


After spending a year interacting with patrons and staff at the Seattle Public Library I created a performance and a Special Collection of circulating books including 1000 titles that had not left the building in more than ten years. I asked library patrons and staff to check a book out. Introduce it to the other books in your life.


Special Collection: one. two, three, four (60 sec. video), five (60 sec. video), six, seven, eight.
