Jurassic Gem

Jurassic Gem presents coprolite as treasure, commodity and museum bait. The joke is geological capitalism: enough time passes, and even waste can be rebranded as rarity. Episode 8 turns toward collection, spectacle and market value. What was once expelled becomes desirable because it is old, named and framed. The work satirises the transformation of bodily residue into prestige object, asking whether civilisation is an auction house built around things nobody wanted at the time.
