About Wunderkammer Repatriation
Wunderkammer Repatriation was born from both my affection for cultural artifacts and my issues with their historic looting. The scene depicts a small project of repatriation, showing the considerate descendant of a collector attempting to identify and return the presumably ill-gained contents of her family wunderkammer with the assistance of a band of researchers. ‘Wunderkammer’ is literally translated as 'room of wonder’, which I prefer to the slightly derisive ‘cabinet of curiosities’, and it also offers a double-meaning: perhaps the real wonder in this room is the act taking place. — Ilya Milstein
