ANACHRONIC OBJECTS
SPORTS SHOE
again we are faced with a futuristic object, perhaps inspired by science fiction works such as lightsabers from the Star Wars saga. On this occasion, an object devised in the future for combat and war becomes, in Victorian times, a kitchen tool.
The great and opulent banquets of British high society were updated thanks to this new way of cooking food, undergoing a great revolution in gastronomy. However, to satisfy the most voracious and exquisite appetites of the time, numerous exotic animals were hunted, leading to the extinction of abundant species. Thus, with this object and history there is associated a certain teaching, related to massive hunting and the loss of biodiversity, to which our society suffers, trying to be a warning (even if it is subconscious) of what can await us if certain customs are not changed. . To locate this object we will have to look in the showcases of the room
until you find one that serves as a gunsmith, keeping this sword and another from the time, as if they were a couple. However, the materials of the cauterizing sword should quickly uncover its anachronistic origin.
