Archaeology of a city mine
Publication
2022

Over a period of two years (2019-2022), June Fàbregas and me investigated one of the largest inner-city construction sites in Europe: Stuttgart 21 in an artistic-experimental way. For the project we interpreted the construction as an archaeological site and took on the role of excavators by photographically documenting the construction site, collecting leftover materials, 3D scanning them, archiving them, and examining them for their aesthetic and functional characteristics. The publication brings together the different contents of the project, layering text, photographies and scanned objects and functioning as a kind of documentation for the future when the process of construction of Stuttgart 21 is completely displaced and no longer perceptible.
