Overview
- The 50ft triangular bookshelf slowly revolves in a reflecting pool on Faena Beach once every ten minutes and is open to the public through December 7.
- Visitors read at a two-ring circular table, with the inner ring rotating alongside the sculpture to create shifting face-to-face pairings.
- An LED band streams book passages as Devlin’s recorded voice reads excerpts from 250 titles, creating a timed, multisensory reading environment.
- Commissioned for Faena Art’s tenth Miami Art Week program, the project anchors a three-part presentation with related works in the Faena Cathedral and Project Room, and includes Meta Ray‑Ban glasses for English–Spanish translation.
- All 2,500 books—sourced with Penguin Random House and Strand Books—are slated for donation to Miami schools, libraries, and community groups, with organizers saying banned titles are excluded.
