Argentinian Artist Uses 100,000 Banned Books to Construct Replica of Full-Size Parthenon at Historic Nazi Book Burning Site
Argentinian artist Marta MinujÃn,
has created an amazing monumental replica of the Greek Parthenon from 100,000 of
banned books. The artist believes, it
symbolizes the resistance to political repression. However, the Parthenon of
Books in Kassel, Germany is part of the Documenta 14 art festival. The public
was then asked to donate these texts, which were wrapped in protective plastic
and hung from the structure being asked to continue bringing volumes with them
when visiting the exhibition. The 74 years old artists with the help of
students from Kassel University, MinujÃn identified over 170 titles that were
or are banned in different countries around the world, and build the full-size
replica of the iconic temple from those books, plastic sheeting, and steel.
But perhaps Germany’s most
controversial book – Adolf Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” – will not figure on the
Parthenon. Whatsoever for a good reason: the Nazis were infamous censors of
books. To build on this concept, The Parthenon of Books sits on a site where more
than 2,000 books were burned by the Nazis in 1933 as part of the so-called
Action against the Un-German Spirit. It's a stark reminder that the written
word has consistently been used in actions of censorship throughout history. Where
they burn books, at the end they also burn people,” Heinrich Heine said in the
19th century. It's likely for visitors to become part of the artwork by
checking the list of banned books and bringing along a text for inclusion in
the work, which will be on display until September. She dilapidate the fortune
these myths represent. By literally tilting these symbols, MinujÃn not only
gives new meaning to these monuments, she offers them a new sensuality.”

Japanese’s Artists Used 1000s Of Miniature Origami Cranes Turned into Incredible Bonsai Trees
The talented Japanese artist
Naoki Onogawa is taking origami art to the next level, and she’s doing it in
the most Japanese way ever. Mainly inspired by the legend of the 1000 cranes
and the story of Sadako Sasaki, she folds hundreds of miniature origami cranes
which later become attractively delicate Bonsai trees of various colors and
styles. Since ancient times, Japanese people have been mindful of natural
phenomenon, and while confronting our uncertainties of the natural world, we
worship and co-exist in harmony with nature. As one symbol of nature, trees
possess a life force which lies in all natural things,” Naoki writes on her
blog. I’ve tried to endow my artworks with this energy. Through looking at my
works, I hope you can feel this life force too.
