STONE was created as a site specific work for the venue Heara 12, Curated by Sala-manca
"I saw a stone that fell from the old wall in Jerusalem you could see the negative spot which it came from i thought to myself that it's trying to leave Jerusalem..."
The technical ambition behind this site-specific project was to create a non-rigid chaotic mechanical system:
This was achieved by balancing the weight of the stone with a contradicting shape. I emptied parts of the stone from inside and added lead weights to other parts.
Every time the rock reacted with the stone surrounding, their encounter would be unique; no movement would ever be repeated.
