The breath of a deceased writer has been preserved through the contents of his archive.
1 During three years, I had the privilege of going through the archive of a famous dead writer that has been previously combed for over seventy years by scholars and other professionals. I gathered a series of notes made by the writer that may not be significant to historians or scientists, and might be overlooked. They depict absences, silences, and other gaps.
Three of these documents are then professionally photographed, printed on archival paper, and eventually framed. Each chosen document will receive its reference in the archive, ensuring its preservation.
