The Cabazon Dinosaurs
2018
Various Sizes
Digital Printing, Concrete Plaque
Since their construction in the 1960’s, the Cabazon Dinosaurs have animated both the physical space of their surroundings and the pop culture space of the film and multimedia they’ve inspired. Some visitors happen upon the dinosaurs circumstantially, while some seek them out specifically for the photo op. Spectators’ obsession with this site reflects a contemporary preoccupation with the simulacrum, as a projection of our desires. The Cabazon Dinosaurs Plaque aims to distort the distinction between fiction and reality. A physical and digital plaque that tells a different version of the story, it distorts not just the dinosaurs’ history but our human history as well. The Cabazon Dinosaurs Plaque proposes a world where the origin of life resides in the USA. What is reality and what is fiction?
