EXCAVATIONS IN THE SNOW

What if our trash/the fly-tipping spots were the only thing that was left of us in something like 10 000 years? Our future predecessors discovered it and studied it. 

How would they imagine our present, what values would they assign to what we now perceive as trash? 

​

Together with Mental Health organization Mielenvireys-Oulu, Translation Flowers went on a speculative archaeological dig, re-imagining the value and purpose of Anthropocene heritage. It was a collective effort to unlearn the current associations we have to the objects we found, trying to give them new forms and shapes we created stories around them.
