Studio for Propositional Cinema

Project—

Ancient Knowledge Survivalist Manifesto is part of a project by Studio for Propositional Cinema called Ancient Knowledge Survival Kit, an "archive and diagram of what and how we have built and a mechanism to decipher it; a guide to make our future ruins articulate so our ruination may sound a foghorn guiding the future away from repeating our catastrophe, towards a future that we could have had and still, if we want it, may find." It was hand-printed in a small linotype printing workshop in Naples, Italy, as part of an ongoing series of publications published by A Gust of Wind. A Gust of Wind is simultaneously a publishing entity and an archetypal fictional character who has appeared in several past works by Studio for Propositional Cinema.
