Underneath the past there is a secret history, which is otherwise hidden from view. Inaccessible through archives and records, this history must be found by studying the esoteric objects generated by the past. Cigarette advertisments, cereal packaging and cinema ticket stubbs – it is only through artefacts of this nature can we begin to see how people once lived, and discover not merely what happened, but what people though had happened, what they believed was yet to occur and what may have happened without our knowledge.
This secret history is also known as latent history.
