“The culturally predicted Apocalypse never happens. This farcical negation is continually repeated.

The actual Apocalypse occurs as a true horror locally and internationally on a regular basis. It cannot be predicted.

Neither forms of Apocalypse can be feared since they either do not occur or they cannot be perceived beforehand.

The Archive, any archive, consists of a group of images or items, which appear to be coherent and are indexed and catalogued and thus retrievable within a certain systematic methodology. However, an intrinsic negation exists - all images are contingent within the various connotations of their circumstance of juxtaposition and upon external happenings that force differing readings.

The Apocalypse and The Archive are both negated entities. A group of images can always be made not to work.” (Giles Eldridge)
