Kings and nobles, ambassadors and courtiers filled the room for coronation celebrations and great banquets. Music, conversation and ceremony echoed between the stone walls.<br /> <br /> And then imagine something even harder to picture today:<br /> <br /> horses.<br /> <br /> The Vladislav Hall at Prague Castle was large enough to host knightly tournaments indoors. Riders entered the palace on horseback through a specially designed staircase and came straight into this very hall.<br /> <br /> The room that now feels almost empty and contemplative was once filled with movement, spectacle and noise.<br /> <br /> That is what I love about places like this.<br /> The architecture survives, but the life that once filled it has disappeared.<br /> <br /> All that remains is the space — and a little imagination.<br /> <br /> Vladislav Hall, Prague Castle.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/marcmatter/">Añelo de la Krotsche</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/marcmatter/55507956939/" title="Praha -

a huge collection of literature that you can't get at because pulling a book or two out will cause the collapse of the tower. But it does make for a wonderful sight.<br /> <br /> A real-life iteration of this dream-nightmare is on display at the Prague Municipal Library. Artist Matej Kren's Idiom is a long-term art installation where 8,000 books are stacked in a cylindrical tower. Mirrors placed at the bottom and the top give the exhibit the illusion of being infinite. A tear-shaped opening on one side of the tower allows visitors to peek in and experience what it would be like to drown in a book well.<br /> <br /> Idiom was originally displayed at the Sao Paulo International Biennial in 1995, and found a permanent home in the entrance hall of the Czech library in 1998. This literary wormhole has become a local landmark in its own right, even featured on the cover of Science magazine in 2011.<br /> <br /> Kren, who was born in Trencin, Slovakia, explores the theme of infinite knowledge offered by books in many of his works. &quot;Gravity Mixer&quot; is another book-themed installation, where Kren created a rotunda of books, and &quot;Passage&quot; in Bratislava is an endless looming wall of literature.<br /> <br /> © COPYRIGHT The work contained in my gallery is copyrighted.
