Film Screening: In the Future They Ate from the Finest Porcelain

Join exhibition curator, S.I. Rosenbaum and New York Magazine editor, Abraham Riesman to discuss the film, In the Future They Ate from the Finest Porcelain, by Larissa Sansour and Soren Lind.

“In the Future They Ate From the Finest Porcelain resides in the cross-section between sci-fi, archaeology and politics. Combining live motion and CGI, the film explores the role of myth for history, fact and national identity. A narrative resistance group makes underground deposits of elaborate porcelain – suggested to belong to an entirely fictional civilization. Their aim is to influence history and support future claims to their vanishing lands. Once unearthed, this tableware will prove the existence of this counterfeit people. By implementing a myth of its own, their work becomes a historical intervention – de facto creating a nation.” – Larissa Sansour
