about

On 23/09/19 at about 12 (CEST) a cardboard box was found at the front door of our studio. The only information on the box (handwriting all caps) was a small code (A.D. 2020) and the cryptic warning "KEEP AWAY FROM MAGNETIC FIELDS". As we opened the box a smell of old attic spread like if the content was sealed in there since forever. Inside the box we found 12 dusty folders, each including a variable number of magnetic tape spools and disparate items (paper material, prints, photographs, VHS tapes...). The puzzling findings unfold a high degree of space-time discrepancy, with dates, locations and names that don't add up, certainly leaving the awareness of being faced with a very strange puzzle, way too elaborate to be a joke, too full of meanings to be a fake. Unable to tell what it was, we decided to start an archive to catalog and publish the content of the box, one folder at the time. We called it: Dust Archive.

What follows is the content of the fourth folder
Dust Archive protocol code: D.A. #004 - A.D. 2020

∙ [SP#012] to [SP#018] spools of tape
∙ [IT#008] black and white abstract print
∙ [IT#009] map with a path marked in red pen, the path goes from Italy to Portugal, or vice versa
