Having worked on Peter Wollen’s archive at the British Film Institute, when I think of his legacy my thoughts tend to stray from his seminal works and veer towards the eclecticism of the margins. Much like in Peter Wollen Reads the US Press, where he makes connections between seemingly unrelated stories and reports, a capacity to draw together disparate fragments and throw them into new and unexpected relations is a key feature of Peter’s archive.[1]| mediacommons.org
