Catalogue > At random

Someone is sleeping. A conveyor belt moves stones in an underground place. The stones fall through a hole in the shape of a mouth. Some hands go through a piece of concrete. Someone operates a knob that crushes the stone. In CORE, we document the different states through which the material passes: stone, dust, liquid and solid. Moving between the surface of things and underneath them, we interweave two apparently distant processes: hands traversing and manipulating cement sculptures and the process of extracting and transforming stones in a quarry. An encounter and friction between materials that is in turn the result of the meeting and negotiation of two languages, the sculptural and the cinematographic.
