Do we think that a stone is a cold and dead material or rather warm and vital? A Heart of a Stone is published as part of the installation by artist Ayami Awazuhara.
The work consists of several elements arranged in various display structures.
The book A Heart of a Stone is part anecdote, part fiction and part sculpture.
It was developed in a collaboration with Santiago da Silva.
Born 1985 in Nagano, Japan, Ayami Awazuhara lives and works in Berlin. Her artistic practice encompasses numerous types of media, including photography, performance, installation, as well as video.
