Books carry the scars of the lives they have lived. In Revolutionary Book Worms, an ageing 1765 volume on the French monarchy becomes the site of a literary assassination. The titular worms eat through its history, erasing parts of the original narrative while creating a new network of interconnected tunnels. The lives of lowly bookworms and mighty royalty become intertwined, producing a third reality. Their paths become a new form of writing, raising questions about whose history survives, and where meaning resides: in the original text or in its transformation?
