Unprocessed seven-tone basalt stones crumble on top of each other sometimes break. The footage is filmed twenty times slower than real time. The artist constructs a dissonant scenario where an image, heavy with physical materiality, serves as a metaphor for the fragility of human psyche. These raw basalt stones, fresh off the quarry, are later processed to be employed in architecture. In this context, the interiors and exteriors adorned by these stones will be inhabited by individuals or families, and human unprocessed and processed dramas will take place inside these structures.
