The archive of destruction is an evolving structure dedicated to the collection of documents on actions and ideas that represent a negation of its basic function, which is the preservation of memory.

With a focus on two main guidelines, destruction directed against physical elements and destruction directed against ideas or abstract concepts — immaterial forms of destruction — the archive touches most diverse areas where ideas or actions of destruction can be found.

The archive of destruction has no fixed address and both content and organisation of the materials there contained are fluid and in constant change.

The archive of destruction had its first public presentation in London, in 2007, and has been developing ever since in an organic, open, and continuous process, which led to the creation of diverse departments and ramifications, as well as a publishing label.

Sporadic materializations and ephemeral manifestations of the archive have taken place in both digital form and in diverse physical locations across Europe, Asia and the US.
