Millefeuille 2

(2013)

Millefeuille 2 is a pile of one thousand blank pages torn from books.

My library has been mutilated, again (the first Millefeuille dates from 2006).

Millefeuille in French literally means one thousand sheets, leaves or pages.

It is also the name for a type of pastry.

Pastry for bibliophiles.

Some books have no blank pages, quite a few have one in the front and one in the back, some have several.

I rip all of the ones I find.

On each page I write the title and author of the book it is torn from, then assemble the layers and serve this pastry to all the bibliophiles.
