The Library of Rhizomatic Activity


Lucy Pullen
2005

Select books in various collections are covered in artist-made reflective dust jackets. As Pullen writes, when photographed, "the book appears to be consumed in a burst of bright white light, and disappears from the photograph." While the dust jacket conceals the book in normal light, in a darkened room it is a beacon.
