last year arsham’s hourglass exhibit extended themes from the artist’s ‘fictional archaeology’ work, looking into the ways we interpret history through physical artifact. included in the show were a series of cast objects housed in large hourglasses.

in his latest work, items including an eroded vintage camera and a stack of cubes are entrapped within the hourglass, as well as white granules of sand, honoring the artists minimal aesthetic. limited to 500 pieces, arsham’s instagram caption reads ‘wait until you see the unboxing experience’. the sculpture will be available at daniel arsham’s online store starting friday, june 22 at 12 p.m. EST. see images below —
