Thomas Sauvin | "As long as I'm surrounded by this archive"

Square Meters starts the second season welcoming the listeners into the studio of Thomas Sauvin, author of the project Beijing Silvermine. Since 2009, the French collector and artist Thomas Sauvin has salvaged discarded negatives from a recycling plant on the edge of Beijing, negatives that were destined to destruction. His Beijing Silvermine archive, one of the largest archival projects in China, now encompasses over 850000 anonymous photographs spanning the period from 1985 to 2005, thus allowing the reconstruction of a large part of the history of popular analogue photography in the country.
