Stones
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, stone to stone.
It all began with the big bang. It sounds like a sudden nothing to something.
The stones took their time to take shape and still we don’t know where they came from.
But once in place a stone can give many emotions.
Stones: natural, sculpted, removed, replaced, reconfigured, used, forgotten.
To replace stones is a long, difficult and slow process (still relative to time it is quite fast)
I replace them from my cellar to my garden to create a wall ........ My contribution to the fulfilment of slowness shall consist of a series of photos of moving stones. Breaking down and building up, stone by stone.
In a lifetime it is a slow and hard process, in realty it is a fraction of a millisecond of our existence.
Is it worth it? For who?
I suffer and enjoy it, so who cares? ..... only me !!!! |
