Rachel Sussman, La Llareta from “The Oldest Living Things in the World,” 2008.

“What does it mean when the organic goes head-to-head with the geologic? We start talking about deep time and the quotidian in the same breath, along with all the strata in between. All of these organisms are living palimpsests: they contain myriad layers of their own histories within themselves, along with records of natural and human events; new chapters written over the old, year after year, millennium after millennium. When we look at them in the frame of deep time, a bigger picture emerges, and we start to see how all of the individuals have stories, and that all of those stories are in turn interconnected – and in turn, inextricably connected to us all.”

“The oldest living things in the world are a record and celebration of the past, a call to action in the present, and a barometer of our future.”

–Rachel Sussman, The Oldest Living Things in the World
