Project Description
Samuel Bich’s project at
Arsenal Filminstitut asks how archives can be made accessible without reproducing hierarchies. Working with Arsenal’s film collection, he is developing a large-scale index poster generated directly from the archive’s holdings. Conceived as an inventory and navigation tool, the poster translates the archive into a new temporal and material form, offering low-threshold access while encouraging curiosity and exploration.
