The Regime of Visible, in the form of a pocket map, introduces two ways of exploring Cannerberg, a small hill situated between Maastricht, the Netherlands, and Kanne, Belgium. One side of the map traces the ownership of land by mapping cadaster parcels and their corresponding buildings and underground tunnel structures. The other side traces varied sources from the history and geology of Caestert plateau with a focus on Cannerberg. From Neolithic times, continuous mining of flint nodules and later limestone created a complex network of underground tunnels around Maastricht, popularly called “the caves.” Flint nodules were used to make tools and weapons, and to build fire. For centuries, up until industrialization, limestone was extracted by hand and used in building infrastructure in the Limburg province. By the time of industrialization, underground mining in Cannerberg had already been exhausted. The maze of underground corridors left behind was regularly used by local farmers until WWII, when German troops re-purposed Cannerberg into a storage and assembly facility for V-1 rockets. A few years after WWII, the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) rented out the same “cave” and used it as the headquarters for war operations during the Cold War. In 1992 the NATO headquarters shut down. The same year, the Treaty of the European Union was ratified in Maastricht, its twelve signatures memorialized in Cannerberg's “cave.” The Regime of Visible collapses the narratives of property and history through the superposition of Cannerberg's storylines. The Regime of Visible is part of long-term research on the Caestert plateau history, and it functions as an introductory work to “Portrait of the Mountain,” an upcoming video essay.

可见政权

袖珍地图形式的可见政权介绍了两种探索Cannerberg的方式，Cannerberg是位于荷兰马斯特里赫特和比利时卡内之间的一座小山。地图的一侧通过绘制地块及其对应的建筑物和地下隧道结构来跟踪土地的所有权。另一面追踪了卡斯特高原的历史和地质的各种来源，重点是坎纳贝格。从新石器时代开始，不断开采火石结核和后来的石灰石，在马斯特里赫特周围形成了复杂的地下隧道网络，通常被称为“洞穴”。火石结节被用来制造工具和武器，以及生火。几个世纪以来，直到工业化为止，人们一直手工提取石灰石，并将其用于林堡省的基础设施建设。到工业化时代，坎纳贝格的地下采矿业已枯竭。二次世界大战之前，当地农民经常使用留下的地下走廊迷宫，直到第二次世界大战时，德军才将坎纳贝格改用于V-1火箭的储存和组装设施。第二次世界大战后的几年，北大西洋公约组织（NATO）租用了同样的“洞穴”，并将其用作冷战期间战争行动的总部。1992年，北约总部关闭。同年，《欧洲条约》在马斯特里赫特获得批准，其十二个签名在坎纳贝格的“洞穴”中得到纪念。通过坎纳伯格的故事情节的叠加，可见政权使财产和历史的叙述崩溃了。可见政权是对卡斯特高原历史进行长期研究的一部分，
