Description: The expression "seeing into stone" describes a spiritual practice, a metaphor for tunnel vision, focusing on what lies within, invisible. Anika Schwarzlose?s project of the same name presents research and archival materials from various sources. In collages, images taken by the Siberian documentary photographer Veniamin Metenkov are combined with pictures from archives and product catalogues of mining and machine suppliers. The collection centres around the human relationship to rock and soil, and our shared reliance on resources contained within it. Ultimately, our brief existence seems of little importance in relation to the long arc of geological time.
