Public Wing

Despite the elusive nature of the M{ }esum, reports of sightings and potential portals to the museum have surfaced in various locations around the world, from Athens to Berlin. For the intrepid explorer, a public wing of the M{ }esum in Berlin can occasionally be accessed by appointment, providing a unique opportunity to engage with this mysterious institution. Within the public wing lies the renowned Archive of Absence, an archive dedicated to n∅bjects.

Here you may find the artist Anna Livia Löwendahl-Atomic meticulously cataloging n∅bjects and lovingly tending to the myriad facets of human experience that have faded with time: memories, the certainty we once held dear, the ideals we once cherished, our lost trust in political systems, the versions of ourselves we have outgrown, the relationships we have lost, the utopias we once dreamed of, our lost treasures, our old ego, the lost souls of our time, the futures that we failed to pursue, the pens that have slipped our grasp, the work that remains undone, the unspoken dreams of our own existence, the answers we never received, and the ones we are yet to find.

An Open Invitation to Collaborate, Explore, and Transform

The Archive of Absence not only serves as a repository of lost and intangible entities but also encourages visitors to become active participants in this living collection by contributing their own n∅bjects, sharing their personal experiences and stories of absence, loss, and transformation.
