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
