The movement of glaciers through time has displaced boulders across the landscape, shifting erratics that constantly change our perception of space. These elements serve as points of reference in the collective memory and define the limits of the territory.

Yet their fate is to travel and through their movement create new geographies. These moving giants provide us with clues to a frogotten past— a history surpassing our own as human beings.

In order to understand their movement through a timeframe which can be easily perceived, we have equipped our erratics with a small but efficient tool which will allow them to move freely in space. Underneath these stones are three heavy duty rollers and the stones, at sitting height, will be able to re-arrange themselves according to the visitors needs and also their own.
