Library: A film about the installation 'Library' at the Ayyam Gallery in 2023. Library:
The video showcases an installation at the Ayyam Gallery in Dubai from 2023. Tor Seidel explores perceptual illusion here. Visitors enter the gallery and encounter a bookshelf filled with books alongside paintings and sculptures. They initially think to themselves, " Okay, there are some books. " Later, they realize that these are paper dummies. Tor Seidel interrogates this moment of discovery, the moment of delusion, when we understand that something is not what we think it is, despite our initial perceptions. The paper-acrylic installation was part of the Faculty Show at the College of Fine Arts and Design at the University of Sharjah.
