2080, Third Molar from the Holocene Epoch
2023, mixed media installation
The third molars, also known as wisdom teeth are expected to be disappeared in fifty years according to some scientists.
This work is a speculative museum of a third molar tooth, situated in the year 2080. This work aims to dissect the language and format of a natural history museum which has become the universal way of understanding our surroundings throughout the globalisation across the world. Putting the banal object, or something that used to be part of the human body, into the museum pedestal, the work points out what the system of museum structure can convey and cannot convey to us about an object.
