The Archive of Missing Things was founded in order to collect, catalogue and store all missing objects that are in the world. The Archive was built around a secret.”

The Archive of Missing Things is a live/digital show for libraries, as well as an online game available at home. You have 90 minutes to explore a maze-like archive in search of the secret at its centre. Toggling between different views can reveal clues: if you look and listen closely enough, you may just notice them.

A meditative quest for the age of rising sea levels.
