Where Stories Move: Es Devlin's "Library of Us"

On Faena Beach, Es Devlin shaped The Library of Us, a glowing, 50-foot rotating bookshelf filled with the 2,500 books. Devlin is celebrated for building immersive worlds for icons like Beyoncé, U2, and The Weeknd.

Here, she invites viewers not just to look, but to participate.

As you move around the library, it moves with you. The structure turns within a circular reflecting pool.

Its mirrored surfaces catching the sky, the sand, and the people who gather around it.

At The Groovalution, we were so excited to see The Library of Us. It supported our core belief that creative expression isn’t passive; it’s participatory.
