This is a guided visit to a series of obliquely connected private libraries located in Amsterdam’s Red Light District, the Stroud Green neighbourhood of London, Montreal’s Plateau, and the 14e arrondissement of Paris. And other places.

You will be led through observations, reflections, and movements selected randomly from an evolving collection of objects in the libraries. The experience will last approximately sixty minutes. Please put on your headphones, and when you are ready, swipe or click to the next screen to begin.
