Reanimation Library

Both and art project and a functional research library, the Reanimation Library is an independent presence library with an emphasis on visual information. The books in the collection—simultaneously prosaic and peculiar—are relics of the rapidly receding 20th century. Chosen primarily for the images that they contain, they have been culled from thrift stores, rummage sales, flea markets, municipal dumps, library sales, give-away piles, and used bookstores across the country.
