An Underground Library
Swedish artist Susanna Hesselberg recently constructed a library that plunges into an infinite abyss. Visible only from above ground, the intriguing installation is inconspicuously marked and, from a distance, looks as though it’s just a square frame laying on the grass. As viewers approach it, however, they can easily see the stacks of books descending into the earth. Its compact structure is reminiscent of a mining shaft or water well with no apparent bottom.
I have an untamable urge to go down and see what’s inside.
Imagine what it would look like if there was a pitch black dungeon at the bottom…
What if it was infested with tons of Lovecraftian monsters?

What do you mean, “if”?
It’s not infested. They’re perfectly polite library users.
