Since 1997, Julius Deutschbauer has been collecting books that people own but have never read — along with their personal reasons why. The result is The Library of Unread Books, a continuously growing archive that humorously and critically reflects on our reading habits, intellectual ambitions, and cultural expectations.

The exhibition invites visitors to browse this collection and explore the question: Why do we own books we never read? The presentation is complemented by a performative activation of the library, in which Deutschbauer interviews guests about their unread books.
