Three Turin archives - far from one another in space and time, but sharing a common story - are portrayed in three symmetrical circumstances. The archives from the former Collegno Insane Asylum (today managed by the Public Health Service of Turin), the Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography from the University of Turin and finally the “Mai Visti” Archive of the City of Turin (Atelier La Galleria) disclose themselves thanks to their custodians that, by wandering through the rooms and the documents in a sort of a daily choreography, move the archives symbolically out of their usual holding spaces.
