Never Mind the Nineties
A media archaeology of Berlin as an art location
5,99 €
While the 1990s are in the process of becoming history, the book project is conducting an archaeology of the documents and remnants that remain of it: This archaeology of the 1990s deals with an in-between time that, as a “recent past” (Walter Benjamin), has not yet become binding history.
