For Manifesta 3 De Geuzen designed the Temporary Archive. It operated as a platform for ongoing research, production, lingering and exchange. Using border delineation as a frame of reference or matrix for gathering materials, De Geuzen used its own collection of books as a point of departure. Themes were developed in a viral manner as related books, urls and materials were added throughout the duration of the exhibition. As new materials entered the collection they were classified under a thematic heading.
