Dislocation of an extract from Walter Benjamin’s book Unpacking my Library : a talk about book collecting, using the decimal classification system which is a book organisation method used in libraries. The development of a new process of decoding and recoding allows to reconstitute a new book collection, all the books being borrowed from various libraries in Geneva. This new set is a codified translation of the original text. The text becomes object and the library sculpture.
