The Lost Library: the first 6 found objects

These six book-objects are part of a collection of twentythree found books in the floating plastic island that arrived at the Californian coast in the summer of 2083. Humans explored this island for three years before finally conquering and making it a state in 2086. The books seem to represent a period of time in at the beginning of the 21st century when the element called "plastic" played an important role in economic development. It is believed that this plastic caused the auto-destruction of a series of basic human needs. The investigators involved in this discovery have decided to call this collection of objects: Beautiful Trash: The Lost Library", referring to an ancient artist of Peruvian origin (formerly South America). This artist initiated the term BT (Beautiful Trash) in the year 2010, when he received an artist residency at the "De Young Museum" in San Francisco. He used plastic as the main element in his art. This collection of objects was documented in an actual book, which went out of print in the mid- twenty-first century. His art books became an obsession among art collectors.
