White Dust from Mongolia
“Following tracks, putting together scraps and debris, and reassembling remains, is to be implicated in a ritual which results in the resuscitation of life, in bringing the dead back to life by reintegrating them in the cycle of time, in such a way that they find, in a text, in an artefact or in monument, a place to inhabit, from where they may continue to express themselves.” – Achille Mbembe, “The Power of the Archive and its Limits.”
