Toward an Open Archive
Partial Objects is not a collection striving for completion. It is a practice of attention, preservation, and reflection. By gathering fragments of Will, Tabula Rasa preserves intensity and resists mastery, providing an ethical approach to archiving and understanding human experience. In a culture obsessed with scale, speed, and total visibility, Partial Objects insists on slowness, incompleteness, and care. It offers an alternative form of knowledge — one that is relational, fragmentary, and attuned to the subtleties of desire, suffering, and creation.
The task is not to resolve these fragments into unity but to maintain their vitality, allowing them to continue speaking, tracing the Will, and revealing the unseen intensities of human life.
