“Eat Me”

`Well, I'll eat it,' said Alice, `and if it makes me grow larger, I can reach the key; and if it makes me grow smaller, I can creep under the door; so either way I'll get into the garden, and I don't care which happens!'

- ‘Alice in Wonderland’ 1865

    “Eat Me” (Singapore Art Museum, 22^nd August – 18^th October 2009) consists of 1268 books with greenish covers. All books are borrowed from the National Library Board Singapore (NLB). Like the series in Oxford, the books include a wide range of topics, but in general the conditions of the books are newer and the colours are brighter than Oxford books. A 20-metre-long wooden shelf was created site-specifically to support the books, which allows a continuous visual experience of the spectrum of green colour.
