— 
Daniel Arsham, 
'Fictional 
Archeology'

 

Born:
1980, Cleveland.

Lives / works:
New York.

The idea: 
Infusing his 
work with the 
fictional dimension 
of archeology, 
Arsham would 
like viewers to 
imagine that 
they could 
travel to the 
future and look 
back at his cast 
relics of the 
present, from 
a dislocated & 
curious point 
of view. 

Geological 
materials: 
Selenite, 
hydrostone, 
volcanic ash, 
chalk and 
sand.

Featured works: 
Five eroded 
sculptures of 
contemporary 
human figures 
and body parts 

Two 
installations 
displaying casts 
of modern 
artifacts
like future 
archeological 
finds.
