Off the Shelves, Into the Galleries--Part 2

Last week it was books as building materials. Today it's books as fantastic distorted, even tortured shapes and forms, courtesy of photographer Cara Barer, who has two series of her photographs posted on her website (here and here).

Says the artist, "I realized I owned many books that were no longer of use to me, or for that matter, anyone else. Would I ever need "Windows 95?" After soaking it in the bathtub for a few hours, it had a new shape and purpose."
