`Idiom` by Slovakian born artist Matej Kren in the Prague Municipal Library, Czech Republic. Matej Krenâââ‰â¢s âââ¬ÃÅIdiomâââ‰â¢ book tower originally appeared in Sao Pauloâââ‰â¢s International Biennial in 1995. It consists of hundreds and hundreds of books stacked in a cylindrical pattern with the overlapping style of a Jenga game. A narrow tear-shaped opening creates a ten-foot hole in the side of the tower. The colorful spines of the various books create a rainbow pattern on the outside, while on the inside the well-worn, yellow-tinged pages of the books cast a warm glow.
