These works posit a future that can no longer distinguish between the source and the imitation. Calling on the form and format of the fossils we rely on to narrate the world before we were in it, Fossil Futures contemplates a time when our replicas and remnants are themselves ancient but newly discovered. As imperishable objects that have outlived their context, they are convenient substitutions for the building of new narratives as unreal as themselves.
