This volume explores stone as more than a material, presenting it as a carrier of meaning and information across cultures and historical periods.

From a physical point of view, stone is the oldest and most persistent material in the history of humanity. This volume of collected essays, theoretical articles, case studies, artistic texts, and contemporary artworks aims to open a field of thought in which stone is not interrogated as a materia prima of artistic work, but rather as a carrier of information that is actualized through artistic intervention.

It examines how contemporary artists decode, interpret, and creatively engage with stone, blending artistic practice, cultural studies, and experimental approaches. Highlighting the intersections between art and anthropology, contributions consider how human interaction with natural materials has transformed over time. It investigates the dynamic, living presence of stone, as experienced in art, illuminating the rich interpretive potential of natural elements and the ways our current cultural era reimagines and situates them.
