archive the future!
can we begin to define this concept of “future” that the lost highway attempts to establish for the so-called western balkans and for the european union with the project of the archive? in other words, can the archive, which is the collection of the past, in fact define the future? and is the future utopia? nostalgia? science fiction? a map? a place? an image? once we construct it, can we inhabit it? or do we agree to only imagine it? what is the nature of this future? what are its parameters? and, most importantly, its politics?
