35MM Camera - Daniel Arsham Future Relic 03: 35MM Camera – Daniel Arsham Medium: Cast resin and plaster composite Dimensions: Approx. 15 × 16 × 9.5 cm Weight: ~1.2 kg Edition: 119/450 Year: 2015 Packaging: Includes original grey presentation box Condition: Excellent Description: Future Relic 03 is Daniel Arsham’s sculptural reinterpretation of the iconic 35mm camera—cast as if unearthed in a distant future. Part of his groundbreaking nine-part Future Relic series, this work explores themes of technological obsolescence and cultural memory. The sculpture appears fossilized, worn by time, inviting viewers to imagine a future where today’s tools become tomorrow’s ruins. Arsham, a globally recognized artist with works in major museums and collections, uses materials like resin, ash, and hydrostone to produce what he calls “fictional archaeology.” The 35MM Camera is a pivotal piece in the series and a coveted edition among collectors of post-conceptual design and sculpture. Context: The Future Relic series debuted in conjunction with short films and gallery installations, forming a narrative of collapse and rediscovery. Relic 03 captures the tension between permanence and impermanence—rendering an object of personal and societal memory in mineral-like stillness.Artwork Details
