Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller, The House Of Books Has No Windows.
This work was made especially for the exhibition during the Edinburgh Art Festival 2008 at The Fruitmarket Gallery , and began life as a sketch in one of the notebooks kept individually by Cardiff and Miller over the last 18 years.
Books, the stories they tell and the opportunity they offer for escape into other worlds, are a key inspiration
for the artists:
I love libraries because of the layers of time and meaning they contain. I like how you can escape into other worlds in a library, how when you open a book, youre somewhere else
Janet Cardiff, 2008

i can't find any information about the soundtrack other than the brief "asylum peace" credit given at the end -- can anyone give more detail?

Makes you cringe if you love books. But shows there's always a use for other people's junk

Is this a kind of prison or just promotion? see the books treated in this way hurts.

Fascinating.
Beautiful music, too--props to Asylum Peace.
