A Review of Archaeology in Fiction by Dr. Scott C. Viguie (Audiobook - Audible - narrated by Austin Downey)

A Review of Archaeology in Fiction by Dr. Scott C. Viguie (Audiobook – Audible – narrated by Austin Downey)

So this is a first for the blog, reviewing an audiobook. First let me say that this review is not sponsored in anyway by the author, publisher or Audible. Now down to business.

Now I am one of those that much prefer to have a physical copy of a book, I like the aesthetics, smell and touch (I am not weird and it is not a fetish, honest…) of real books. But with so much reading to do it is hard…

Fictional archaeology

I went out to buy breakfast and stumbled upon the work of Daniel Arsham at the Perrotin gallery. I wasn’t sure whether the gallery was open to the public or only for those who had cash to splash, but I couldn’t miss the opportunity to see a crystallised Delorean, so I went in for a closer look. 

The Delorean is part of a collection called ‘3018′ which depicts the artists’ ‘vision of a dystopian future, as modern objects in American pop culture have been reimagined in a future setting through a decaying state’ [Highsnobiety.com Sept: 2018].

I was wowed by the work. Number one, who doesn’t love a crystal or a bound Disney character? Number two, it was a fascinating to see icons of my 80s youth reimagined as futuristic archaeology finds.
