A booklet that comprises the entire chapter ‘Archiving oneself’, some paragraphs of ‘Explicating and regulating’ and the ‘Glossary’ updated in 2025. It contains a summary of the meaning of my archive and of me archiving myself.
I considered condensing and transforming a part of ‘Self-portrait’, including the part we find ourselves in, into a somewhat precious booklet with a limited circulation to give to those ‘owners-witnesses-archivists’ who, alongside me, will support and take care to carry forward the somewhat eccentric and rather utopian vision that is this archive. I thought that it would be nice to give a physical piece of this fantasy to all those people who like me do not believe just in the physicality of the work, but also in that symbolic space that helps to ensure that things can continue to exist, that they can be carried on, that they can continue to live.
