This study is a response to the numerous pleas of curators and cultural officials to remove artifacts from museums in hostile environments-specificity from the National Museum of Afghanistan in Kabul, which has been the victim of civil war, hostile take-over by the Soviet Union, invasion and destruction by the Taliban, and strikes by the United States. This is a retroactive and hypothetical intervention, an intervention that would have taken place in April 2001, to preserve the ancient artifacts of a museum that was in fact almost completely destroyed. I propose a system that enters the hostile environment, wraps and loads the artifacts into a vessel, and transports them to a protected environment. After the artifacts’ transportation, the originals are stored and casts are made from the packing material (yellow foam). These casts will then continue traveling as ghost images-reminders of the exiled artifacts and the destruction taking place. The images are wrapping studies over statues found in the Kabul Museum catalogue that are currently thought to have been destroyed.
