The 21st century can be described as a digital age — a time when our phones are no longer just tools for communication, but extensions of ourselves, gateways to a digital world. But perhaps in all our obsession with the digital, we have lost touch with the physical.
The publication 21st Century Archaeology is a visual exploration of the iPhone as a physical object. Through prints and archival material, it examines the material reality of the device. What materials are used to produce our phones? And what traces do we leave behind in an age of technological progress?
