The archive
All →Five chapters
Each chapter is its own curatorial world: a different palette, emotional state, or idea about what happens when real art becomes an everyday object.
The ruleOne fragment.
One fragment.
Never the whole painting.
Documented before it is printed
Artist, title, date, holding institution, source and rights are recorded first. If a work cannot be documented, it is not printed.
Open access only
Image files come from institutions that publish them as CC0, Public Domain Mark or Open Access. A free painting does not make every photograph of it free.
Made after you order
Nothing is manufactured in advance. Each piece is produced in Egypt once the order is confirmed by phone.

One line is printed inside the lid, where only the person opening it will read it. Inside: the piece folded in black tissue, closed with a dark-red seal, and the Artwork Record naming the work behind the design.
