Untitled (fossil collection)
fossil collection, 50% real, Eocene period, approx. 40 million years ago,
50% fake, made after the real fossils, white marble dust and cement, pigments
2016 - 2018
The collection comprises both real fossils and copies, mixed together. The originals are marine fossils from the Eocene period, approx. 40 million years ago, and they are collected by the artist from a stone quarry, not an official fossil site. The fake ones are copied with a mixed material of cement, marble dust and pigments. At the end of the show the visitors will be invited to take home a fossil, without knowing whether they chose an original or a fake one.
