‘In the Future, They Ate from the Finest Porcelain’ resides in the cross-section of sci-fi, archaeology and politics. The project explores the role of myth in history, fact and national identity, and is a filmic counter-measure to the politicised archaeology used to justify confiscation of Palestinian lands. A resistance group buries deposits of porcelain that signify a civilisation of hi-tech Palestinians. When it is unearthed, this tableware will prove the existence of this fictional people. By implementing a myth of its own, the work becomes a historical intervention – the de facto creation of a nation. In a post-apocalyptic future, cargo spaceships loaded with porcelain begin their journey back in time, passing historical scenes and landscapes, finally revealing the porcelain cargo and accomplishing the intended revision of regional history.
