Kufstein, Tischofer cave in the Kaisergebirge

Project description
Minerals from human body cavities encounter stone formations from the Tischofer Cave. What is probably the most comprehensive collection of body stones in Austria is taken from the Geological Institute of the University of Innsbruck and transported to the mountain. Kidney stones, gallstones and bladder stones collected by Richard Tessadri are reactivated in an artistic installation. The outcome is a connecting moment of encounter between the internal and the external, the organically and the inorganically organized.
