Zhongshuge Bookstores

Shanghai-based architecture firm X+Living has designed Zhongshuge bookstores. Each location in this chain of Chinese bookstores has uniquely designed spaces with reflective elements that immerse guests in parallel environments. In the Chongqing branch, criss-crossing staircases and a mirrored ceiling double the room for an effect that seems straight out of an M.C. Escher woodcut.

“L’art, dans son ensemble,  n’est pas une création sans but de choses qui se dissolvent dans le vide, mais une force qui tend vers un but et doit servir à développer et à affiner l’âme humaine, participer au mouvement du Triangle. Il est le langage qui, dans sa seule forme particulière, parle à l’âme des choses qui constituent son pain quotidien et qu’elle ne peut recevoir que sous cette forme. L’art se dérobe-t-il à cette tâche, rien ne saurait combler le vide de cette absence, car il n’existe aucune autre puissance capable de le remplacer.”

-Kandinsky, De la spiritualité dans l’art et en particulier dans la peinture, 1910

The romance of a books naked edges are akin to the visible areas of an iceberg, while the ideas,thoughts and meanings lie unseen from this perspective therein exists its trueness of whole.

Moments of Isolation UK-based photographer May Parlar work reflects on themes of belonging and alienation. To build her fanciful scenes, Parlar explains that she layers frames to build composite images rather than manipulating the content itself. “I work across different mediums such as photography, film, performance art, sculpture, installation, and landscape art; and all of which gets merged in the end and put together with a glue that for me is the camera”.
