seven figures
stones from the river limmat
size variable
2025
stones that have been selected and arranged in such a way that their shape is reminiscent of a human being in the fetal position. The stones were all collected from the riverbed of the Limmat, where they come to rest for a temporary moment after a long journey of transformation. The once sharp edges have been smoothed by time and shaped into rounded bodies. Bodies that store the warm rays of the sun and absorb rainwater. Bodies that vary in size and shape due to their individual histories. However, through their arrangement in space, the individual figures connect with each other and form a collective. Their bodies are sheltered by the force of gravity, sheltered by geological time. A source of collective resilience.
