on now at London's Red Gallery, this solo exhibition of works by Worlds in Transit participant Fritz Stolberg comprises two installation works and two new photographic series. as Stolberg explains, the title of the exhibition was taken from Jorge Luis Borges' Library of Babel, which describes the universe as an infinite architecture of interlocking hexagonal rooms filled with books that contain every possible combination of 23 alphabetical letters "in this universe even a seemingly nonsensical selection of characters such as dhcmrlchtdj will already be of significant meaning somewhere in this vast library," explains Stolberg. "Borges uses this example to illustrate his notion of the universe being useless, incorruptible and secret"
