Fictional Archeology by Daniel Arsham. 

Title : Fictional Archeology
Author / Artist : Daniel Arsham
Publication : 2015, hardcover, 144 pages
Publisher : Perrotin & Editions Dilecta

The book documents Arsham’s unique sculptural work—eroded casts of contemporary figures, body parts, and everyday objects such as telephones, cameras, and sneakers. 
These pieces are crafted using materials like selenite, volcanic ash, and crystal, giving each sculpture the appearance of archaeological relics unearthed from a distant future or past ￼.

Arsham’s concept of “fictional archaeology” invites us to view modern artifacts with a lens of time. 

He reimagines the mundane as decayed relics, urging reflection on obsolescence, impermanence, and how present-day culture might be perceived by future generations 

Daniel Arsham is a contemporary artist based in New York City who was born in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1980. 
He is known for his multidisciplinary approach to art, which combines elements of sculpture, architecture, and performance to create striking and thought-provoking works that challenge our perceptions of time, history, and material culture.

Arsham began his artistic career as a young artist and co-founder of the design and architecture firm Snarkitecture in 2005, where he collaborated with a range of clients and artists on various design and architectural projects such as The Weeknd, Dior, Porsche, Rimowa, Adidas, Tiffany Co, Hublot and many others, 

He later established his own artistic practice and began exhibiting his work in galleries and museums around the world.
