Ron Arad is a masterfully diverse industrial designer, architect, sculptor and all-around experimental artist. He prefers to work in steel and to send strong (if strange) messages with his large-scale works like this magnificent, highly-reflective steel bookcase bent into the shape of each State in the US.
At the actual installation, this curiously literal work stands surrounded and defended by a series of much more abstract bodygaurds. What it is meant to mean is difficult to say but the sheer size and shine of this giant country-shaped bookcase speaks for itself.
