Stones, 24-carat gold foil

At the bottom of the Silvretta reservoir dam, a landscape that is touristically barely developed unfolds. Stones rupture the alpine turf.

Some of these stones were gilded in the studio, shown in exhibitions and later returned to the landscape.

The works of the series Golden Nuggets can be understood as an intervention at this location underneath the panorama – playing, on the one hand, with a possible history of the scattered stones as remnants of the dam construction by forced labourers. On the other hand, the dislocation of a stone, its subsequent modification and its re-naturation discuss questions of added value and social value construction.
