Objects and books seen in the film are displayed, including an Iranian magazine, and a mid-century book titled 'Glass in Architecture and Design'. The assemblage also includes printed film stills and other related images, a large sheet of baroque glass, which echoes the spreading ink seen in the film, as well as other materials and surfaces that confuse sight, such as tinted and textured glass, and mirror.

The gallery exhibition form of the Lost Libraries film is preceded by a cabinet lined with the canvas used to cover books. Within it, objects and books seen in the film are displayed. The lit cabinet leads the viewer into the world of the film, the film made tangible and sculptural.
