{"product_id":"daniel-arsham-future-relic-2018","title":"Daniel Arsham — Future Relic (2018)","description":"\u003cp\u003eProduced by Arsham Studio in 2018, this \u003cem\u003eFuture Relic\u003c\/em\u003e belongs to the body of work through which Daniel Arsham established his practice of fictional archaeology: the objects of our own era treated as artefacts already excavated, eroded by time and recast in geological materials. The sculpture is executed in plaster and shattered glass, measures 56 cm in length, and is presented in its complete original packaging, a custom foam-lined box with a holographic label of authenticity and a pair of handling gloves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArsham's vocabulary draws on sand, selenite, volcanic ash and glass, materials that give his objects the surface of something buried and rediscovered rather than manufactured. The effect is a deliberate temporal paradox: the cultural references of the late twentieth century, consoles and telephones among them, are treated as the fossils of a civilisation we are still living in, suspended between romanticism and pop, between the museum vitrine and the archaeological site.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe framework has a personal origin. Arsham has spoken of a childhood fascination with archaeological remains and of the desire to imagine the future through the past; he describes these works as future relics, objects through which the present is already read as a completed chapter. A celebrated instance of the same logic is his eroded DeLorean, where the imagery of time travel meets the physical decomposition of the object. The edition is limited to 500 examples, each accompanied by the studio's original packaging and authentication.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Collecto Archive","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58053096145236,"sku":"443","price":3300.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0975\/9083\/7588\/files\/file-1727973503707-1-png.png?v=1793382250","url":"https:\/\/collectoarchive.com\/products\/daniel-arsham-future-relic-2018","provider":"Collecto Archive","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
