Franck Bohbot's pictures of beautiful libraries

Story here

From the article:

In a 1941 short story, the Argentine author – and librarian – Jorge Luis Borges wrote about the Library of Babel, which contained all the books that could ever exist. Franck Bohbot’s photographs suggest a similar dizzying vastness, with rows of shelves seemingly disappearing into infinity. In his House of Books project, the French photographer elevates the spaces to become palaces of knowledge.
