As Julietta Singh writes, the word “archive” may mean “almost anything”: from “a physical place where a collection of documents is housed” to “a body of literature … a series of monuments, or a collection of images,” to anything that one studies and decides to call an “archive” for the purpose of granting it “the status of an intellectual pursuit.” Adding the adjective “personal” to this description narrows it down to “almost anything” toward which someone feels a certain intimacy or relational intensity. This could stem from a sense of ownership, affective attachment, or a feeling of responsibility. In our workshop sequence, we further narrowed down the temporal aspect of this description: personal archives point to spaces, objects, memories, and other ephemera that are, at the moment of being discussed, “archives-in-becoming.” These are future-perfect archives: they have not undergone the process of value stipulation, be it emotional, financial, or material, and it is not clear how such value “should be transmitted across time.” Trying to give a shape to such future-perfect archives, we thought of carton boxes, filled with old documents, photographs, childhood toys, and tchotchkes, stored under beds or on top shelves, somewhere retrievable yet difficult to reach.
