OFLUXO

Grotta Scaloria, a Neolithic site in Italy, has an inner chamber. Across the floor human and animal bone fragments have been scattered. A rectangular-ish pool of water is surrounded by Cave formations. Some of the stalagmites have been broken off and on top ceramic bowls are placed, collecting the dripping water from the stalactites above.

The installation’s inhabitants come in the form of heads, floating around without bodies. Perhaps they are future entities only in need of the computing power of the brain and facial expressions. Or rather like spirits of a prehistoric cult site that the humans of a distant past could communicate with but we moderns can’t hear any more. 
A dropstone is a foreign element, a hermetic space within the rock, effectively launched through layers of time. The exhibition can be read as a dropstone, from another place and time, reemerging when the seabed have turned to mountains.
