A modular, expandable shelving system shaping an itinerant, non-hierarchical photo library.
A travelling library of 100 landscape photography books, built to grow. Born from a dialogue between Obliquo, curator Mauro Zanchi, and shelving company Fantin, the project rejects a linear, one-way exhibition in favour of an open, non-hierarchical space that expands almost like a living organism.
The result is an installation that compresses or expands to fit any venue, stays clean and clear, holds its graphics by magnets, and can keep growing indefinitely.
The secret is Fantin’s Uno bookcase, in production for nearly 50 years. Used as intended and in unexpected ways, its components become bookcases, display stands, and connectors, endlessly recombined from the same simple parts.
