Daniel Arsham — Pentax K100 reformed in ceramics
Daniel Arsham

Pentax K100 reformed in ceramics

Daniel Arsham's *Pentax K100 Reformed in Ceramics* transforms a once-familiar analog camera into an archaeological relic, rendered in smooth ceramic to evoke a sense of excavated history. Arsham's signature aesthetic of "fictional archaeology" reimagines everyday objects as fragments of a forgotten civilization, blurring the boundary between past and future. The work invites viewers to reflect on the fleeting nature of technology and the cultural nostalgia embedded in obsolete devices.
