Future Relics is a collaborative project together with artist Ben Yau, realized during our wanderings in the Wadden Sea islands.
After our encounters with the locals and the stories they shared with us regarding marine pollution, the changes of the sea-life and the fishing in the area, we decided to experience ourselves the effects of climate crisis on the island. By using walking on the beach, microcosmic looking and collecting as our main research method, we soon came to realize that in a closer look on this sand lied our fossilised future. Embedded within the present moment were relics of the past that act as forecasts of the future. Future Relics goes beyond what is visible operating into the potential realm of future ecologies.
