These stones, found in the Valais region (Allalin Gabbro, Adular, Aragonite), are set into a hemisphere covered with synthetic velour. The abbreviated titles, MRS, TTN (originally Mars, Titan) alludes to a fictional connection between the materials and outer space exploration.
A QR code on the work gives access to a visualization (NFT) where a photograph of the stone dissolves into stardust.
The piece weaves together cosmic origins, interstellar fiction, and the material presence of the here and now.
