Photography – turning your relationship with something that interests you, is before you and the camera, into a form that you can take away and look at later, share with friends.
Archaeology – taking old things that interest you away from where they were found and turning them into an archive, a collection, that you can study, write about, and share.
mode of engagement – architecture – camera
suggested is a performative rather than representational modus operandi
temporalities of actuality, kairos, duration, nostos
Archaeography – giving visual, (photo)graphic form to such relationships – engagements with the remains of the past in a recognition that both archaeology and photography emerged at the same time and under the same interests in the modern world of the first half of the nineteenth century.
