Stonescapes

Dust, tiny splinters, scratches, stains and holes – Looking closer at the stones of Gjirokastra one might see traces that not only occur through weather conditions but also by people’s movements: Unconciously and inevitably, our bodily behaviour leaves carvings in the stones of a city. Over time, we continuously reshape the stones of the city and hence make it a dynamic stonescape.

Stonescapes was developed during the Artist Residency of the Gjirokastra Foundation in 2018.
