Presented at: Project, Solid and Soft, DNA Gallery Berlin, 18.06.-8.08.2015

In the performance we see the two artists Nezaket Ekici and Shahar Marcus, as they lay down a bed. 2 helpers repeatedly put stones and slag with buckets over them until their bodies are covered. Up to 1000 Kg stones are thrown at them. This live performance goes back to their video work Fossils (2014.
Both artists work together since 2012 repeatedly. Again and again they look for new challenges in nature. The last production was in the Saarland, on Halde Lydia and in the Schlossberg caves.
The artists were keen to repeat the video work live to see how the body can withstand the heavy stones double times heavy.
