Unbookshop
in collaboration with Michael Lee Hong Hwee
unbookshop is an installation that explores instances when and where books are 'freed from function.' By studying, selecting and rearranging printed and audio-visual documents from the library collections of three Hong Kong-based art institutions, namely Asia Art Archive, Mobile Fart Agency and Studio Bibliothèque, this project is aimed at uncovering what might be on the underside of a bookshop. The lack of a complete navigational device in these printed spaces facilitates easy expansion and reorganisation: Shuffle the shelves or the loose sheets in anyway and the categories still cohere with the contents. No one system of categorisation is perfect, just as every apparent nonsystem has an inner logic. Don’t buy. Get lost. Enjoy.
i. Bibliophiles-in-Residence
Booklovers like to work in bookshops.
Booklovers like to live in bookshops.
ii. Restroom for the Deranged
Treat books with tender loving care.
Torture books with tender loving care.
iii. The Garden of Paratextual Delights
Books are for reading.
Books are for looking.
iv. Lost Libraries
It is easy to get lost in libraries.
It is hard to let go of lost libraries.
v. Twosomes
Everyone has a favourite book.
Every book has its fateful other.
