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 Gjirokastra. Over time, we continuously reshape the stones of the city and hence make it a dynamic stonescape. The series Stonescapes shows imprints of stone in Gjirokastra, which through the technique of the Frottage enables locals as well as visitors of the city to continue this artistic documentation and create an ongoing chronicle of Gjirokastran stone.
