DEEP TIME INDUSTRIES: the Law of Prochronism, future Paleontology and the unforeseen effects of planned and in-built obsolescence (Open Monument exhibition catalogue 2013)

We are not talking here about an end, but about a sort of pre-recorded, pre-inscribed, and a definitely non-spectacular, consumatio mundi as an educational tool and metaphysical solace: the pertinent and tangible artifacts of a world coating itself up. A world producing its own growth rings and index fossils. The reconstructed Bosphorus seabed display exhibited a collection of contemporary objects dredged from the murky depths, the usual junk that ends up flushed into and is slowly accumulating in the world ocean.
