The Stone House

THE STONE HOUSE

Stories that emerged

A story in images that encloses and compresses time through memory and imagination. Stone has always fascinated man and since ancient times he has attributed virtues to it, magical meanings and powers. The house represents the sense of personal comfort and well-being within oneself and with the outside world, means safety, protection and point of reference since ancient cave times.
Caves inhabited by men who felt the need to “fill” their “case” with signs and drawings of their experiences. To the meaning of safe refuge they soon added that of space where they could express what was most important to them, becoming expression, narration, mirror of affective contents, symbolic, community.
The objects of La Casa di Pietra are traces of memory, summaries of passages from our history: facts and events of our past as the result of a mnemonic and non-critical investigation, I am “stories that emerged” which combine stone with raw materials, retracing fragments of evolutionary memories.
