Serpent Rhythm Continuum is a project devoted to the collection, circulation, and documentation of Asian antiques. What at first appear as scattered and unrelated objects are gently drawn into relation—like stars traced into a constellation—crossing fractured times and distant geographies to give rise to a provisional image.

Each artefact carries sedimented traces of movement, translation, and recontextualisation. These traces are inseparable from histories shaped by unfair trade and the ordering of knowledge. Attending to such residues, and to the singular trajectories of each object, the project approaches the archive not as a neutral vessel of preservation, but as a site where visibility, value, and the dynamics surrounding how history is narrated remain in delicate tension.

Through the gathering and rearticulation of fragments, histories long suppressed, dispersed, or forgotten become—however incompletely—legible once more. The archive imagined here is not a fixed totality, but a continually reconfigured constellation: a space in which relations are rewoven, and history is allowed to emerge again, in motion.
