The Song of the World
39.0 x 59.0 cm
Kochi-Muziris Biennale
‘The Song of the World’ contains photographic documentation of 208 rocks on 37 kilometres of coastline running from Turkey to Georgia, under threat due to extractivist environmental policies. To make the work, the artist measured the weight, height and circumference of each rock, and used temporary paint to mark them with the resulting data, visually inscribing the last remaining natural rocks on the coastline with urgency. The photographs act as both documents and messages of caution – preserving, in image form, a space in danger of depletion. The title of the work is borrowed from Gustav Mahler’s song cycle ‘Das Lied von der Erde’ (The Song of the Earth) (1908-09)
