Welcome to the Museum of Ephemerata, where you have been all along. And welcome to the impermanent collection, a world populated with miraculous traces, singular events, hypnogogica, petrifications, and taxidermied beasts: a still life where only eddies of dust express movement. Our panoramic vision glides from saintly relics to Wunderkammern, and from public museums founded in the Enlightenment’s wake to mutant museums marketed for urban leisure — namely, dime museums, world’s fairs, and theme parks. Each of these historic forms of collection dealt the public a stacked deck, playing games with the tensions between truth and falsehood, nature and culture, life and death. The impermanent collection shuffles those decks together.
