The Archive Dreams Us: Where Light Remembers Wrongly, Seventeen Haiku - Paperback

by Joelle McTigue (Author)

Joelle McTigue's work considers memory as unstable matter shaped by movement, repetition, access, power, and erasure.

"The Archive Dreams Us: Where Light Remembers Wrongly, Seventeen Haiku" gathers passages that trace how archives filter the past through systems of digital storage, language, and algorithmic memory.

The poems move through three states: dataset, prompt, and memory, treating history not as a stable record but as something continually rewritten through selection, circulation, and omission.

The work has appeared as a digital text installation in the Compost pavilion of The Wrong Biennale and also exists as a self-contained digital artifact.

This publication carries the work into print.
