Alluding to the deep timeline of ancient lava flow formations and their gradual sea erosion, these “excavations” all hint at the disruption of geological equilibrium by human interference. Channeling the colloquially known “Soft Rocks” area at the southmost part of the Bulgarian coastline, famous for its mysterious volcanic cliffs, I imagine what the area may look like thousands of years in the future––a counterfactual fallout, an evaporated sea, and rocks no longer softened by the waves.

Found CCTV footage of daily human activity ‘faded’ to pale cyan like an old sun-soaked poster; the ethereal pixel formations of a cracked liquid crystal display; phones as broken lumps of matter becoming absorbed by their own internal chemical substance. Finally, a ‘geiger counter’ which shifts the idea of radioactive detection within the environment by instead reacting to the motion of the people in its vicinity.
