Pasa Página itinerant exhibition: An invitation to read

Pasa Página is an exhibition that took place in the National Library of Spain, in Madrid, focusing on the library as a concept, as a place that claims books and spaces for reading. Because of this reason, the exhibition is composed by ten elements whose outer sides are full of diverse books, just like bookshelves.

The exhibition formats vary in each piece of furniture and in its interior; in some cases, different volumes are extracted. The content varies from photography, videos, scripts or audio-texts to formats around new technologies.

Each piece of furniture is different from the others from the inside, like each book, but the outside is a shared tribute, a monument to the book, a prism of books with which to travel to remote places. The ten pieces of furniture/cabinets/shelves narrate the different epigraphs related to the adventure of reading and books.

The exhbition continued travelling around the country, taking place in cities such us Salamanca or Zamora, and inviting everybody to have a seat and enjoy the pleasure of reading.
