In a neglected historic building, historical excavations and visions of the future merge into a symbiotic present. Archaeological excavations reveal a network of fungi, stories, and links that have colonized the building over the past 300 years. This creates unexpected points of contact for new narratives across epochs. The dilapidated structural fabric no longer marks the end of a long decline but the origin of previously untold stories. Archaeological remains, microbial life, and clay—the building itself reduced to its essence—become a fertile resource for utopias in which the imaginative and the tangible intermingle.
Visitors embark on a (also culinary) journey through the puff pastry of time—following not historical linearity but brushing history against the grain.
