Wednesday, November 6th, 2002“Perhaps the most deeply hidden motive of the person who collects can be described this way: he takes up the struggle against dispersion. Right from the start, the great collector is struck by the confusion, by the scatter, in which the things of the world are found . . . The collector . . . brings together what belongs together . . . by keeping in mind their affinities.”
Walter Benjamin, The Arcades Project.
