The relationship between non-human material and the human organism was here explored in a speculative and seriously performative way. The leftover pieces of rock from an active quarry compelled me by their strange and almost too close resemblance to human flesh. Question: Have these once actually formed any parts of the human body in the past? Have these been once abandoned? If so, is it possible to find out which places on the human body have these formed in past? Do they form parts of human body still - and ongoing - ly?

Steps: find compelling left-overs - picture possible placements on the body - consider the inner body organs - place stones on the possible areas - bent into the positions which need to be taken for the stones to exist in - understand the tectonics of all: body, stone and placement - don´t accept the non-sense - polish the contact surfaces.

In total, 7 positions were found - hand1, hand2, inner anvil, shin, scapula, back, knee. Polishing revealed the accuracy of the assumed placements. | developed during the International Summer Academy Salzburg | Performative Walk at the Quarry, Untersberg, Salzburg, AU
