In May 2016, an iron cube is burried in one of the stale of the popular market of Anshun Road. Coming from the amateur and official tradition of the time capsule, it contains a whole of objects given by different stales of the street. These Usual, cultural, professional artifacts will witness their contemporary context to future generations. Like a phantazysed relic, the cube takes place in a specific context where popular areas are vowed to disappear.
