Tim Mitchell : The Hopeless Transport Archive

31 Aug-27 Oct 2019

Overview

“The Hopeless Transport Archive focuses on one particular type of artefact at the end of the industrial era: it looks at artefacts that are about to become ‘extinct’. Put another way, the ‘Hopeless Transport Archive’ is a whole repository of dying industrial objects. It is also an indictment of the costs of late capitalism – of the astonishing waste we create, of our carelessness towards the artefacts we create, and of our profligate use of resources.” – Tim Mitchell, 2019
