It is important not only to change your perspective, but also to change the direction of your line of sight.” he emphasized.

“Here we have a landscape that changes perspective; it is not in front of us at a single point on the horizon, but above us, inviting us a little to reconsider and change our traditional notions of perspective.

Van Gugger’s Tamed Stone
argentina fartista Mr. Juan Gugger gave a presentation at the Spanish Embassy. A disturbing proposal was made within the framework of the exhibition “My mortality should move you”. It started with a stone that moved and deformed at an abnormal speed.It cannot yet be explained by science.
Based on the idea of ”living stones,” he created replicas of these stones and photographed them in everyday homes. The image on display is one of those stones found in every kitchen next to an open refrigerator full of drinks.
These living stones are found in Romania. Curator Benedetta Casini said: “These are stones that have the characteristic of moving over time, changing and moving in the landscape.” “These are things that have been studied and, in fact, the places where they were found are so strange that they are not fully understood by science that they are listed as UNESCO heritage sites. “They have an almost vegetative way of growing.”
