Division and Multiplication of the Mirror, 1988.
Partial Objects shifts from linear history to an archaeology of Will. Michel Foucault’s method of archaeology complements Schopenhauer’s insights: history becomes effective when it introduces discontinuity, ruptures, and layers rather than smooth narratives (Foucault, 1989).
By archiving fragments, Partial Objects traces the movements of Will rather than merely cataloging events. These fragments ripple across time, generating connections and intensities that traditional historiography cannot capture. The archive, then, is a space for experiencing the universal through particular traces — not through coherent storylines.
