This Relic, the second one of the series that conform the Future Relics, is the archeological object found in 2180 at 40°44'14.2"N 73°57'14.8"W, located in New York, being a 35mm Canon AE1. This camera has its own space in photography history, as it was the first one of its kind to include microprocessors and an absolute best seller of its time.

“The manipulation of people’s expectations is what I’m doing often. … People expect architecture to be solid. They don’t expect it to melt. People expect objects from the present to have a certain solidity about them. And when you can take a Canon camera … and make it out of crystal and cause it to appear eroded as if it’s been, you know, found in the future, they’re subtle shifts, right? … You’re confused by them … [and] they create really this uncanny sense. And for me … the idea of the uncanny is [what I’m] really about.” - Daniel Arsham
