In Cheating Time: Bruno Munari the Archaeologist, a book associated with the exhibition at the Civic Archaeological Museum of Bologna for the centenary of Bruno Munari's birth, readers will find 3rd millennium B.C. objects alongside Fossils of 2000, ancient inscriptions, and Illegible writings by unknown populations. The book includes quotations from Munari and archaeologist Vere Gordon Childe, stemming from both historical and imaginative research. Alberto Munari explains in an unpublished text that this project began with a visit to an archaeological site on Panarea Island (Sicily), where he and his father played with history using its own analytical tools. This experience inspired the Imaginary Museum of the Aeolian Islands, the Fossils of 2000, and theoretical reconstructions of imaginary objects, reflecting Munari’s works that see everyday objects as traces of an imaginative history rather than conventional History.
