It’s a plural existence.” —Edmund de Waal Edmund de Waal’s “library of exile" is currently on view at the Japanisches Palais in Dresden, Germany, through February 16. De Waal has constructed a small library that houses two thousand books written by exiled authors from Ovid’s time to the present day. The external walls of the library are inscribed with a new text piece listing the lost and erased libraries of the world. Inside, embedded in the bookshelves, is a quartet of de Waal’s large-scale vitrines, containing porcelain vessels and page-like brackets of steel. After the exhibition closes, the library will travel to the British Museum in London.
