As @worldwithnaan stood in the heart of Prague, Czechia, on December 29, 2022, their lens captured a mesmerizing spectacle – a towering column of 8,000 books known as Idiom, created by Slovak artist Matej Krén. The video, shared with the world, reveals a captivating scene where books have been meticulously arranged to form a tunnel, leaving a small aperture for viewers to peer into its depths. The tunnel, illuminated with a soft glow, evokes a sense of endless knowledge and literary exploration. This remarkable installation, born in the summer of 1998, stands as a testament to the transformative power of art and the preservation of knowledge, with each book having been either donated or rescued from impending landfill.
