Cardiff brings the viewer&#8217;s attention to the ephemeral and fleeting live performance of buskers and ballerinas (which are unlikely present in the contemporaneous setting the viewer occupies) , just as she focuses on historic maps and encased documents within the site, which themselves make visible the lapse between past and present.<\/p>\n<p>What else does this call to mind for you?
