What if everything we see, feel, touch, and taste, all the joys we experience, and everything we witness in the world became an archive of our existence?
Where we create records of our time here by slowing down and savouring everything around us, just to experience the cell-deep pleasure of it all, then letting it find a resting place in the written word?
What would it mean to see ourselves as archivists?
THE ARCHIVE OF EXISTENCE is a global collection of ordinary stories about the ordinary moments in people's lives. Stories describing the slather of butter on banana bread. The squirrel swivelling on branches to show someone their nuts. The smile on a barista’s lips as they pass a hot chocolate. Witnessing a fuzzy bee land on a windowsill.
This project is dedicated to witnessing, documenting, and preserving our everyday experiences, where people from all walks of life, will be invited to contribute their stories of the cute little things that humans do, because… We're told that we have to earn our place in the history books by doing something extraordinary, but with THE ARCHIVE you get to be a part of history by just sharing the small stuff, the moments between the big plot lines, because that’s the proof that you existed, that’s what shapes us.
This living archive will house the meaningful minutiae of being human, all in one place.
