This work
is a fossil which shows how people in the Anthropocene used
large amounts of bottles, flacons, tubes, pills, syringes, …. most probably to
feed or to cure themselves. Geologists doubt that this can be called a fossil,
because the items are laid out too orderly; as if it was done by somebody on purpose.
But one: isn’t the spiral of the ammonite (Cat. nr. 69) not of a beautiful order
as well? And second: maybe the tubes and pills were so important for our ancestors
that they were kept in order to rapidly find a particular pill needed at a particular
moment. The Anthropocene was surely a bizarre
period, if you think that today, to feed or to cure ourselves, we simply take (or
receive) what nature offers us.
