The entire series of documents guest-edited by Manon Lutanie is now online. A community found in the 90s at the West Side Highway Piers in New York City, a dream house, an ex-boyfriend graveyard, and keepsakes from Ukrainian Crimea long before occupation can all be found, alongside so much more, at .

The gesture of enacting stained glass that recalls my family members who have or continue to work with it, as well signs of habitation.

At the end of 2025, during the month I spent in China, I kept thinking about making this piece. Thanks to @manon_lutanie ’s invitation, the idea was finally realized, as my contribution to @interludedocs .

Interlude Docs is pleased to welcome Manon Lutanie as a guest editor for the month of March. A longtime friend of this project, filmmaker, and founder of independent press Éditions Lutanie, Manon brings a refined and singular sensibility, marked by restraint and an elegance that is entirely her own. Her film work is often distinguished by a dense, charged ambience—a diffused palette and moments of tonal play that can transfigure simple concepts into something luminous and strange. Through Éditions Lutanie, she has published books out of Paris by figures such as Faye Wei Wei, Rene Ricard, Walter De Maria, Michael Heizer, and Zoë Lund.
For this edition, Manon has shaped an index of 21 contributors whose work resolves into a haunted inventory: a collection of ascetic documents, by turns poignant and playful, that traces the negative space left by past intimacies. We are proud to welcome this collection into the archive.
The new documents will be introduced to the archive in two releases—the first arriving tomorrow, with the second to follow on March 20. Today, we are pleased to share the full list of contributors gathered under Manon’s editorship.
Thank you to @manon_lutanie and all the contributors.
A look back with thanks to the 2025 contributors to Interlude Docs. This project will continue to expand in 2026 with new material, site upgrades, improvements to the index, and input from guest editors. Until then, you can browse this year’s thoughtful additions to the archive at the link in bio.
Thank you to contributors Greer Sinclair, Stefanie LaCava, Dean Smith, Emmeline Clein, Tom Greenwood, Ruth Höflich, Gina Telaroli, Alex Zhang Hungtai, Christine Sun Kim, Tosh Berman, Lizzie Borden, Juliette Desorgues, Ben Babbitt, George Chen, Thomas Mader, Amy Ching-Yan Lam, Maura Brewer, Gideon Jacobs, and Courtney Stephens; to Erik Bluhm for access to his Great God Pan archive; and, lastly, to one of San Francisco’s greatest, Margaret Tedesco—whom we lost this past year and who will remain deeply missed.

I’m very honored that my new project, Leveraged Artists (MoMA 2000-2022), is included in Rebekah Weikel’s brilliant Interlude Docs. Leveraged Artists is a list of every artist whose work has been listed as collateral in a loan filed by a trustee of the Museum of Modern Art. You can see the project and read more about it here and in my bio: /2025/07/doc-153-maura-brewer/
Interlude Docs is an online archive that collects notes on impermanence. Media, poetry, ephemera, and other means, are presented to consider that which is gone or ephemeral. Founded by Rebekah Weikel, contributors to the project include Chris Kraus, Christine Sun Kim and Phil Chang among many others.
Ahead of Mother’s Day, Interlude Docs revisits Dodie Bellamy’s tribute to her late mother filed in the archive under Doc 59:
“My mother was obsessed with making sure I didn’t get pregnant in high school, reminding me that I was born an honorable two years after she got married. Even my father, who never showed any interest in my moral well-being, told me that should I get pregnant they would have to sell the house and move. This was doubly embarrassing since I’d never been on a date and had been sleeping with my girlfriend since grade school. My mother was like this fleshy panopticon, watching my every move, but she never considered I’d be having pervert sex in my bedroom while she was cooking dinner.”

“My friend Kane Tsay in the Luna shirt, Chris Colbourn from the band Buffalo Tom, and myself at Rasputin or Leopold’s Records (no longer) in Berkeley. We didn’t know him. We were just nerds and I think Buffalo Tom were either playing an in-store or he showed up to the Verlaines in-store and we took a photo with him.”
Interlude Docs is proud to welcome George Chen into the archive who has provided a handful of personal photographs taken in the 90s in the Bay Area: Gigs at 924 Gilman, Trenchmouth playing a student show at UC Berkeley (best known today for having Fred Armisen as the drummer), gas station jackets, and tons of Snapple.
As a friend to the archive once put it, “Anyone who had anything to do with booking shows, or running a music shop or mailorder in the late 90s and aughts, knows who George Chen is…”
Find his 90s walkthrough in the archive under Doc 149, linked above.
A father found on YouTube after his passing. Music producer and artist Ben Babbitt @ben_babbitt_ is now in the Interlude Docs archive.
“The man on the right was my father, Frank. In this still, he’s singing in the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Chorus during a European tour under the baton of a famous conductor. I was a few months old. It wasn’t until after he died in 2023 that this video was discovered on YouTube by a friend from the Lyric Opera Orchestra, where my father spent nearly 30 years in the viola section.”
See and read more about his findings under Doc 148 linked above.

The recording of “In the Hollow of Your Hand- for string orchestra,” written by Babbitt for his father’s memorial concert and performed by members of the Lyric Opera Orchestra, is out tomorrow, Friday April 25th.
