Fire

2014 | c-print on Dibond | 76 × 59 cm

Maurice van Es is fascinated by the time element of photography, especially how the value of the subject can change.

For this work, Van Es imagined how we might see today from a distant future. What everyday object might be an important artefact in 1,000 years? A lighter perhaps: of all the ways in human history to make fire, this could be one of the weirdest-looking.
