“Museum of
Remains” correlates the idea of artefacts made by and kept by humans to the
artefacts of the human mind. If not turned into a physical, real object, the
contents of one’s mind will turn into pure fantasy and will be lost in history.
When people become a living form, a shape, an object, people come to museumize themselves.
They eventually become remains of their past doings, manifestations, dreams,
forms, etc.
