Icelandic artist and musician Egill Sæbjörnsson devotes his latest project to the task of kindling life into inanimate objects, namely rocks and minerals. His research into the subject takes on the realms of theory and science, for which he interviews natural scientists, sociologists and genealogists in an attempt to communicate in an unorthodox way our relationship with both lifeless objects and our surroundings. The book is based on the 2011 exhibition ‘The Egg or the Hen, Us or Them’, shown at Künstlerhaus Bremen, where these ideas came alive through humanized stones that would talk to each other, argue and even sing together. Includes photos, interviews and other analyses.
