a possible way of representing places: the level of detail in the objects and the equipement is rather interesting. close-up views and perspective views inside the model provide an uncanny experience of already unfamiliar spaces. |

a description of
ARCHIVAL STRUCTURES:
Lambrakis trial started on 2/10/1966, almost three years after the incident in Saloniki and his subsequent death 22/5/1963. The trial took place in Saloniki and was extensively covered by the media presenting detailed information of the event itself, but more interestingly on the 'weak monuments' construction processes.
Lambrakis case offers privildged views on archival structures-mechanisms work: on the first level the trial and on a second level the media coverage. In this post we follow through the media coverage, ways the murder event is recorder, registerd, traced and represented over and over. Already it seems that event is forgotten. Both the trial itself and the newspapers' reportages of the trial construct on one hand archival records (to forget), that can be re-visited in the future and on the other hand public temporal (others say 'weak') monuments (to remember) on top of the murder event of a (public) person. From here we can begin to talk about the way the 'monuments' are set up...at the end of this process something of the city's mechanisms can be learned. Perhaps.

topology diagram |
a topology of roles and places mobilized after the event of the murder:The diagram represents a topology of places and actors involved in murder cases. It aims to capture the abstract mechanism which is mobilized after-the-event of the murder. A certain arrangement of people, rooms and special objects-tools creates a particular geography that informs an understanding not only of the way insitutions function but of the city itself. Roles and series of actions run along specific and strict protocoles (rules of behaviour). Part of their stringency -absorbed in their way of work- is the record of their own steps and actions; the accuracy of which could theoretically replay and reconstitute the whole procedure. In this way differents systems and discplines - with their own rules and topology - work independently producing and recording -again and again- certain knowledge of the murder-event, the systems themselves (and indirectly of the city). The overlapping systems structure a complex topology which the diagram hopes to illustrate. |
