Test Dig No. 1 is an ongoing, evolving project on the city, memory, and digging. Serving as its focal point are the remnants of a former residential structure embedded within a vacant lot in Berlin. Like numerous other unbuilt voids around the city, the site conceals beneath its surface the foundations, cellars, and corridors of a building from an earlier era. Conducted as an exploratory search, whose eventual resolution remains open, excavation of the site first revealed a spiral staircase, ensconced within a cylindrical brick wall with narrow openings on opposite sides.
