Passengers on transit posed for photographs which were subsequently projected onto a wall. The installation included shelters built from books with reading lamps inside; the shelters were just big enough for one person to find a quiet place in the crowded hall. Books were placed onto rows of seats for passengers to read, take or shove aside.
