444 Archives turns the archival principle of conservation against itself. It is an installation based on photographic artwork; it is a collection of 444 photographs of 444 publicly registered repositories in the Greater London area. Each photograph is stored in one of the 444 archival boxes. However, the grey cardboard archival boxes, typical of the visual language of archive, act in this work not solely as a protecting case for the archived record but as a pinhole camera.
