Everything flows

Everything Flows: A tribute to water's ceaseless movement, shaping stories in stone. Laura Veschi's photographs capture this flow, echoing the creative process of sculptor Filippo Tincolini. Tradition meets innovation, as ancient skills merge with contemporary art. Everything Flows explores the interconnectedness of water, time and artistic creation. Inspired by Heraclitus' philosophy of constant flow, the book captures the essence of sculptor Filippo Tincolini's work, reflecting the continuous flow of thought and gesture from the initial concept to the finished sculpture. Water, a symbol of this perpetual movement, becomes a tangible element in Laura Veschi's photography, its 'sound' echoing the creative process and the transformation of materials. The project also highlights the enduring nature of artistic tradition, where ancient skills such as stonemasonry are reinterpreted in contemporary art. Just as water shapes stone over time, tradition influences artists like Tincolini, bridging past and present. Veschi's black and white photographs document Tincolini's journey, capturing the evolution of form and the interplay between artist, material and the silent narrative of water. Each image represents a moment in this constant transformation and celebrates the enduring power of artistic creation. Text in English, French and Italian.
