My favorite books by Lorenzo and Simona Perrone
Discover My Favorite Books by Lorenzo and Simona Perrone, a sculpture that transforms the book into a symbol of memory, knowledge, and cultural identity. Through an orderly composition of white-coated volumes, the artists reflect on the value of reading and on books as keepers of knowledge and human experience. The artwork is on view at TAVOLO UNICO in Busto Arsizio, Italy.
The artists Lorenzo and Simona Perrone
Since 2006, Lorenzo and Simona Perrone have been developing LibriBianchi, an artistic project that places the book at the center of their creative practice. Using real books transformed with plaster, water, and other materials, the artists remove the book from its original function and turn it into a sculptural object. Their works explore themes of memory, culture, and the transmission of knowledge, inviting viewers to reflect on the value of our shared cultural heritage.

In My Favorite Books, a multitude of books is arranged in a geometric composition that recalls the shelves of a library. The uniform white surface removes every reference to individual titles, allowing each volume to become part of a harmonious whole.
