STONE SONGS, 2025

A small, industrial granite quarry deep in the Bohemian massif of Upper Austria turns out to be an unlikely haven for a variety of endangered animal and plant species. How are they adapting, what draws them to this site and what can we learn from these beings?

Moving and thinking with stones allows us to shift from a human timeframe to a geological one. Making us aware that we are quite juvenile as a species compared to many other life-forms or -forces.

So, when we experience a site of violence and extraction being turned into a nourishing habitat, we might also be able to speculate on and imagine other kinds of futures for similar places of ruin and destruction. Even if these places will contain our bones instead of our living bodies.
