Guy Laramée sculpts different subjects into books. Some represent sculptures which have been destroyed by the Taliban. He destroys old books to produce representations of destroyed sculptures. Which one deserves to be preserved, the book or the ancient statue? What determines the value, the right to live, of an object such as an old book which might never be read again? An ancient Buddha statue? I'm not sure, artists can walk a sharp ethical edge. Guy Laramée's sculptures are for sale.
