Collected from the beaches, wetlands, paths and parks of Cádiz province these museum objects are the remnants of our day-to-day 21st century lives - the ordinary, the mundane, the functional and the ambiguous. These are the relics that will be dug up; left behind far beyond our own existence. These days I realise and appreciate just how lucky and privileged I was to be dragged around museums as a child. I say dragged around, because I´m pretty sure my small self was thinking of much funner stuff to do at the time. However, once inside those big old, musty buildings how could a young mind and imagination not be fascinated by all those ancient treasures - instantly transported to a different time and a different world. Encouraged by story and explanation from enthusiastic parents who seemed to know EVERYTHING. Those tiny texts sitting next to the objects, peaking the curisoity - all dates and symbols and names of unknown, otherwordly places. We would stare wide-eyed in awe at the tools and jewels, the weapons and helmets, the coins and mysterious fragments, marvelling at the ingenuity and creativiy of our more ´primitive´ancestors. Those childhood museum visits may also have been responsible for a mild obsession with collections of things. And so, I wonder, as I indignantly, pick up seemingly infinite bits of plastic from local beaches and bring them home to overflowing kilner jars and bulging bags for life, what, in this digital age of continual change and innovation, of virtual worlds and invisible ´clouds´ will be the legacy left behind by the 21st century human? What will remain for our descendants, for future civilisations to study, examine and marvel at? See more here https://www.instagram.com/underfoot_absowm/?hl=es
