Es Devlin erects monumental rotating library



British designer Es Devlin has created Library of Us, a massive rotating library for books that have informed her work over the years at Miami art week.

Library of Us was installed on the beachfront of the Faena Beach hotel in Miami Beach as part of the Faena Arts program.

The installation was designed to showcase Devlin’s own impressions of the act of reading, especially of reading in a social capacity, referencing the “temporary community of readers” at a library.

“I have always experienced libraries as silent, intensely vibrant places where minds and imaginations soar, while clutched like kites by their seated bodies,” said Devlin.
