The Snarkitecture founder's film also stars Juliette Lewis and a donkey.

An abandoned research facility and the sci-fi styled house of a mysterious millionaire set the scene for artist Daniel Arsham's new film. The release is part three of Arsham's nine part Future Relic series, telling an elusive story of a post-apocalyptic future, narrated by a young girl and her adult self, who is played by Juliette Lewis.

Arsham, who was trained as an architect and works in every medium under the sun—including sculpture and photography—spent the last few years making objects of the present look like millenia-old artifacts. And it was while casting cell phones, laptops, and other tech ephemera in geological substances like rock or crystal that inspired the latest installment of Future Relic.

"I was asked questions about the worlds in which these objects would exist," Arsham told Co.Design on the inspiration for the film. "I thought, I could write that story."
