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.
