abjection | entropy and ruin | actuality | sense of place | this happened here | at a scene of crime anything might be relevant | figure and ground | what comes after the event | what becomes of what was | materiality documented | uncanny non-absence | displacement | is this us? | mis-en-scène | sorting things out | surreal juxtapositions | stratigraphy | anthropometrics | archive | aura | authenticity | connoisseurship | depths | documents | fieldwork | garbology | memory | museology | (ancient) monument | objective objects | origins | scavenging | surfaces | symptomatics | topography | topology | trauma
