The Bibliomancer's Dream - a photo on Flickriver

I have mentioned before that I love books, so this was a brilliant installation for me, and for those of you living in London or visiting it is still on until the 2nd of March at Royal Festival Hall & Queen Elizabeth Hall. More images in the comments. The best way to describe it is to quote their website:

"The Bibliomancer's Dream is conceived by artists Alinah Azadeh and Willow Winston, inspired by the ancient ritual of Bibliomancy - the art of divining the future with books. Visitors are invited to select a book at random and pick a line or verse in order to learn a truth or simply inspire the imagination. For 2010 this enchanting installation extends to The Front Room at Queen Elizabeth Hall in The Bibliomancer's Dream: Dream On, where the walls are swathed in books and more inspiration awaits."

Explored 23/2/10, Thanks for the visit, comments and faves, have a fantastic evening!
