From photographing a 13,000 year old eucalyptus specimen to an 80,000 year old clonal tree colony, Rachel Sussman's work captures an incredibly diverse breadth of living things that were here long before us, and will hopefully be here long after. Recently she visited Kickstarter HQ to discuss her project, titled "The Oldest Living Things in the World." Highlights include:

Getting to the 7,200 year old Jōmon Sugi (at 8:14)
Differing funding situations for scientists and artists (at 14:46)
How do you age these organisms that are tens of thousands of years old? (Answer at 30:35)
