Daesung Lee’s photo series “Futuristic Archeology” visualizes the threat climate change poses to Mongolia’s traditional nomadic culture. As global warming takes its course, the country’s once-lush land becomes increasingly arid. According to a Mongolian government survey, hundreds of lakes and rivers have dried out and 25% of the territory has turned into desert in the past 30 years. Mongolia’s nomadic people, who comprise about 35% of the population, haven’t fared well with these changes, as they depend on the land for their livelihood.

“I want a soul mate who can sit me down, shut me up, tell me ten things I don’t already know, and make me laugh. I don’t care what you look like, just turn me on.

Just have something in there.”

"I'm tired of the fantasy, because it doesn't really exist. And there are never really any surprises, and it never really delivers. And I'm tired of it. And I'm tired of everything else for that matter. But I don't ever seem to get tired of you.”
