 The Book Garden installation at the San Antonio Central Library is Taiwanese-born artist Long Dinh Chan's third Zen garden. This exhibit includes several pieces of work that originally were made for the Zen garden called Set in Stone in the Rotunda of the Library at the College of Charleston, South Carolina. And then some of this kind of stone actually was from Charleston. College, North Carolina. Oh, North Carolina. Yeah, Carolina. Charleston College. And they find my project and they are very interesting and the architecture is co-ordinated with the library because the library has a space for our project. So my material and my concept, my installation, is totally fixed to the library. So I asked them to collect the book for me to do like our installation. So they hired four people and working with me for about one month to create all the big and small stones and make a Zen garden. So this garden Yeah, and this book garden was originally from the Zen garden. Some material was from there. So this is my third garden. Yeah, second one was in Taiwan, the Kaohsiung, Kaohsiung main library. The book carvings originally created for the Charleston College Zen garden were built from thousands of books collected in South Carolina, especially for the project. There they were put together with screws and nails and then sculpted into pieces like the Zen stack. The flat stones, many of which were made from phone books and are 20 years old, were a pathway in Charleston and now in San Antonio provided definition around the space. Oh my. So actually it's like a room size for a baby. So in the beginning I do this, it was for the baby reading room. So in Charleston I put one baby and bring the baby and it's done inside. And now it's become my laser room. So sometimes it comes inside. People like that. And the books in that one are from Charleston. Are from Charleston, right? Yeah, from Charleston. And because I like it to talk to a lot of people and they will give me ideas and using the local material issue and to make a project. So it's my purpose because of everything from the local material, local idea, local idea and to our environment as a local society. As Longbin Chen said, the medium transforms the subject and becomes the message.
