This is an example of the work of artist Guy Laramee. He carves books into decaying and chilling landscapes. Concerned with the erosion of culture, he took a focus on the paperback book which is being replaced by ebooks, kindles and phone apps. He turns these 'useless' books into picturesque scenes of mountains in order to challenge our notion of the obsolete and the natural nothingness which we take for granted.It's all very deep, but there's certainly something hauntingly beautiful about his work.
