The accompanying catalog of Renato Agustin Ong’s solo exhibition at the Vargas Museum from November 15, 2005 to January 15, 2006. 

The publication opens with a quote by Mark Dion about rescue archaeology, “Archeology is always about what lasts, and essentially what lasts is glass, ceramics, and building materials. So in some way there is an element of Thanatos in looking at your culture with the kind of distance you’d have with a ruin.”

This also includes an extract from Jorge Luis Borges’s “The Wall and the Books” and a quote by Stephen Bayley.
