About this exposition

Over a period of five years (from 2013 to 2018) I have collected images of the physical play of my own children, with their friends and neighbor kids. Living archive is here defined as the documentation and collection of a series of play events over a period of five years. ‘Living’ refers to the act of archiving, as the documenting, recording and (re-) arranging of traces over time (Van Alphen, 2014). The archive is “not a passive storehouse of old stuff”’ (p.16), but an active site where knowledge (such a memories, traces) is not only stored but constantly re-constructed. The living archive is open, fragmentary and unstable (Ketelaar, 2018). It consists of more than a hundred photographic sequences and stand-alones that all serve as kinetic markers/traces of the original physical play event.
