The collections of collaged, annotated and put together slides, shows two stages of the fort-like structure at Maarsseveen in an alternative historical path. Here we see what happens after the fulfillment of the defensive structure has come to a critical point. From destruction to an overgrown maze of twigs and bush, we get to see and read the diary of a post-historical traveler, trying to understand the structure by its present deformations.

The work does visual and spatial agency on the importance of collapse as a state of renewal that is imperfect. The work is a visual essay bound and continued on the concept of anarchitecture, which positions frequently visited places as collapsed or indescribable. Coined by Gordon Matta Clark and the anarchitectural group.
