ABSTRACT
This chapter explores the multiple temporalities and materialities of art/archaeology (e.g. Bailey 2017; 2018; Dixon 2018; Thomas et al. 2018; Petersson et al. 2020) by diffracting art and archaeology practices through one another in the context of voids, those (no)places where time, space and matter are troubled. As Karen Barad neatly sums it up: ‘According to QFT, there is no a-void-ing the fact that the void is far from empty. Indeed, nothingness is an infinite plentitude, not a thing, but a dynamic of iterative re-opening that cannot be disentangled from (what) matter(s)' (Barad 2017, 80)
