Antiquities is a series of design/art work appropriating Greek and Roman masterpieces from renowned museums. The sculptures are 3D scanned, digitally manipulated and re-casted in marble as functional sculptures.

"I use technology to “steal” classical sculptures I have revered since childhood. Claim their shapes as raw material to build my own new works. It’s an act of gluttony and lust to appropriate that which belongs to the sacred world of the arts and use it freely in an exploration of its boundaries within the realm of the functional and the mundane. "– Sebastian Errazuriz.

Following his ‘Antiquity Shelf’ in which Errazuriz transformed the historic icon Venus d’Arles into a functioning bookshelf, this new series of limited-edition works pay homage to ancient sculpture while blurring the boundary between art and design.

Errazuriz confronts various subjects and intellectual questions in this series of works, maintaining the precarious balance of tension and release, reverence and sacrilege, delicacy and brutality.
