About this artwork
The ecological peril and the social emergency may not be fantasies.
What if our civilization collapses tomorrow?
What if we ourselves were the actors of our own extinction?
Edouard Merzouk presents his Fossil Sculptures, his artistic vision of collapse, luxury objects or everyday life, fossilized. They have marked the generations of society, from hyper-consumerism and the disposable to its climax. These fossils are a trace of this materialist… civilization where the object has acquired a sacred dimension, where image and appearance have become its only essence.
