Many stones that wash up on the beaches of the North Sea coast are waste products of various industrial processes. Between shells, sand and driftwood, they reveal the blurred line between natural and cultural objects (ecofacts/artefacts).
The work Artificial Stones deals with the subject in three different ways: First, in a theoretical, scientific way in short texts, what, how, where and when different types of artificial stones have found their way into the environment. Secondly, in an informative way, by presenting the stones found on site at the beach on pedestals to initiate conversations and discussions. And thirdly in a cinematic way by documenting the process of restoring the original appearance of the stones before they entered the North Sea environment.
