Not only is it made out [250,000 books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/4442-book), it takes on the form of Jorge Luis Borges unique fingerprint. Considering that Borges was an acclaimed writer and educator, the medium is more than appropriate.

To the delight of both children and adults, it will inspire as much [imagination and playfulness](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unleash-your-genius) as the books do themselves. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.7/10 - Popularity: 85% | Activity: 77% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Book Installation Art:** The aMAZEme Installation showcases the trend of using books as a medium for artistic expression, opening up opportunities for book-inspired installations in galleries and public spaces. - **Interactive Exhibits:** The aMAZEme Installation demonstrates the trend of immersive and interactive exhibits, suggesting opportunities for creating engaging experiences for visitors in museums and cultural centers. - **Literary Tourism:** The aMAZEme Installation highlights the trend of literary tourism, indicating potential for attractions centered around famous writers and their works. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art and Design:** The aMAZEme Installation presents opportunities for artists and designers to create unique and captivating installations using unconventional materials such as books. - **Museums and Galleries:** The aMAZEme Installation suggests opportunities for museums and galleries to engage visitors with interactive and imaginative exhibits that go beyond traditional displays. - **Tourism and Travel:** The aMAZEme Installation signifies opportunities for the tourism and travel industry to tap into the growing popularity of literary-themed destinations and experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Provocative Banned Books Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/banned-books-jail.md) - [Revolving Bright Kinetic Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/library-of-light.md) - [Brain-Like Labyrinths](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brash-collective.md) - [Maze-Inspired Performance Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/city-of-time.md) - [Mobile Reading Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/library-of-us.md) - [Maze-Inspired 3D-Printed Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maze-lamp.md) - [Virtual Library Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-library-at-night.md) - [Perforated Shadow-Casting Libraries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mariams-library.md) - [Wood-Wrapped Contemporary Libraries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/graded-school-library.md)
