Everything Here is Dead

The hall is quiet, ambient noises have been silenced, lights are entinguished. The last sliver of light disappears as a door is closed and the room is sealed.

Everything here is dead.


Humanity meets heritage. What gives the past life?

Our relationship with our material heritage is a toxic one. We cling to it when it proves advantageous to do so. At other times we seek to erase physical remnants of the past so we may write a new history and with it a new truth.

When the Khmer Rouge and Pol Pot took control of Cambodia in 1975, they began a ramage of destruction of cultural artefacts to being the country back to Year Zero, in an effort to erase history and with it reset the society. Such is the power of material remainders.

But why?

History of any kind tends to sprawl (Bill Bryson), everyday a new chapter in the history book of the world, but it is nothing to what lies in the future.

Open until decay sets in and the pieces are slowly reintegrated back into nature
