This work is a critique to the actual conditions the unsheltered face in our cities. The piece is conceptualized as an archeological site reproduction of a lost civilization, from a period called, The Barbaric times.
Scale Model of a Settlement, circa 2010-2022 (A period also known as the “Barbaric Times”) 8ft by 4ft
This is a reproduction of housing and objects that belonged to a part of society known as the “Unsheltered” during the Barbaric Times. There is very little documentation of their social structures and material culture because they were socially marginalized and were neglected by authorities governing at the time.
Although it seems impossible to believe this was an actual settlement, artifacts visible in a small number of images remaining from those times are faithfully reproduced.
