Daniel Arsham × Pokémon is a collaboration between American contemporary artist Daniel Arsham and The Pokémon Company. It consists of art exhibits held in Japan, the United States, and China, as well as various lines of merchandise inspired by the artworks.
Concept
The fictional archaeology is really an idea of taking all of the objects from our present day and imagining as if we were an archeologist in the future and looking at these objects from our everyday life or our everyday experience. I think there’s something kind of prolific and impactful about trying to step outside of our own time frame. It gives us a perspective of our own experiences and lives. Through these works, I hope to be able to shift people's understanding about time in general.
-Daniel Arsham
Arsham’s sculptural works are made of materials such as pyrite, selenite, volcanic ash, glass, obsidian, growler rocks, crystal, and bronze. Through his work, viewers are invited to imagine the unearthing of Pokémon a thousand years from now and experience the passage of time. On the surface, Daniel Arsham’s Pokémon sculptures may look weathered, but closer examination of the excavated future of Pokémon exposes a crystallized brilliance.
