Abstract

The essay focuses on an unsighted archive of migration that preserves numerous discarded objects from undocumented migration into Europe. This “trash” was recovered and stored by the artists Massimo Ricciardo and Thomas Kilpper, for whom the objects signify one of the most urgent societal challenges of our time. In the installation “Objects of Migration—Photo Objects of Art History,” Ricciardo introduced some of these objects into the physical space of the Photothek of the Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florenz to engage in a dialog with the photographical documents of this art-historical photo archive. That physical encounter between two completely different archives and objects raised questions about the significance and value of such objects of migration and their archive in regard to cultural memory and temporalities of cultural heritage.

迁徙的对象-照片-艺术史的对象:档案中的相遇

这篇文章关注的是一个未被发现的移民档案，它保存了大量从无证移民到欧洲的废弃物品。这些“垃圾”被艺术家马西莫·里卡多(Massimo Ricciardo)和托马斯·基尔珀(Thomas Kilpper)回收并储存起来，对他们来说，这些物品象征着我们这个时代最紧迫的社会挑战之一。在装置作品“迁徙的对象-艺术史的照片对象”中，里卡多将其中的一些物品引入了弗洛伦兹艺术史研究所的摄影馆，与这个艺术史照片档案的摄影文件进行了对话。两种完全不同的档案和物品之间的实际接触，引起了人们对这些移民物品及其档案在文化记忆和文化遗产的时间性方面的意义和价值的质疑。
