A Wunderkammer is a classification device that emphatically resists classification. It occupies
a liminal netherworld between furniture and room between the natural and the artificial
between the intimate and the universal. This collection like the Wunderkammer it considers is
neither monograph nor catalog nor book. In three volumes-Collecting Recording and
Translating-this hybrid collection considers the content and ethos of a Wunderkammer designed
by Case Studio VOGT.COLLECTINGEngaging directly with the physical world picking up specimens
living or not bringing them home and organizing them rationally or not. Discovering ever more
tangential relations between them.RECORDINGPutting the tools methods and devices that mediate
our perception of the landscape to work in the context of field trips. Acknowledging and
harnessing the subjective human experience of landscape.TRANSLATINGInstrumentalizing
idiosyncratic learnings and insights uncovering the febrile connections between them and
building the common ground upon which they may experience the most unsuspected yet productive
and specific syntheses.
