A curation by Raffaella Nobili, Owner and curator at Paraventi Giapponesi - Stones preserve the world's memory: a material archive, solidified time. As Jussi Parikka observes, each work is a descendant of the environment that generates it—the material itself is geological memory, destined to return to the earth from which it comes. A symbol of eternity, stone is actually a mutable organism, eroded and transformed. In Alexander Lufer's Infinity Stone #9, the mineral mass becomes transparent, almost fragile; in Carlos Reck's The Breath of Stone, it breathes and allows wind and water to pass through it. Alexander Shandor and Tatiana Malinovscaia restore it to the landscape, a fragment of an endlessly changing planet. Each work is a stratigraphy of personal and environmental memories, an archive of gestures and times: the stone, from an immobile symbol, becomes a living body in the cycle of transformations.
