An inventory of denied access
This project isolates 64 mechanical keys and files them into a repetitive grid, treating old physical hardware like lines of digital security code. Every key is stripped of its practical use and photographed as a single, isolated unit.
Inside this rigid layout, the keys stop working as tools and are reduced to lines of corrupted data. The systematic arrangement erases their individual identity, turning each unique object into a minor shape variation within a closed database.
They no longer unlock anything; the physical locks and buildings they once protected are completely gone. What remains is a warehouse inventory of denied access—obsolete hardware serving as raw paperwork for a dead infrastructure.
