New Archaeology

This project represents the point of contact between our real and everyday life and the imminent changes that will inevitably be caused by climatic conditions and cataclysms. It is a metaphor for what is happening and what is to come. Migration, resettlement, and adaptation will arise not only as necessities for human life but also for all inhabitants of our world.

One of the most significant impacts of climate change in the new archaeology is the potential increase in the exposure of previously buried or submerged objects and artifacts. As glaciers melt and sea levels rise, archaeological sites that were once inaccessible or hidden may become exposed. This creates new opportunities for archaeologists to study previously unknown cultures and societies.

However, at the same time, the increase in temperatures and more extreme climatic conditions may also raise the risk of damage to these newly discovered objects and artifacts. For instance, extreme heat can cause fragile artifacts to decompose more quickly, while flooding and erosion can wash away or damage archaeological sites.

All these changes open up to humanity not only ancient artifacts and cultures but also previously unstudied biological species. Furthermore, new archaeology extends beyond our planet, and scientific research takes us to different corners of the universe. Through this project, I aim to immerse the viewer in a mysterious and unexplored world, prompting society to reflect on these issues and seek solutions.
