U svakodnevnom jeziku često kažemo „hladan si kao kamen.“ No ta fraza, kad pomnije promotrimo, čini se obmanjujućom. Ispitivanje strukture i boje kamena otkriva njegov bogat mineralni sastav. Tekstura njegove površine odražava sile koje su ga oblikovale: voda zaglađuje rubove, tlak
uzrokuje pukotine, a visoke temperature ga ostavljaju hrapavim. Svaki kamen nosi zapis Zemljinih formativnih procesa, temelj naše sadašnje
stvarnosti. Štoviše, kamen je bio prvi alat čovječanstva, osnažujući nas da oblikujemo svoju okolinu i stvaramo. Istovremeno, ovaj alat zagrijava se
dodirom, otkrivajući svoju otvorenost prema suradnji.
Sensitive Bodies izložen na JAB25 rad je koji proizlazi iz umjetničke rezidencije Magic Carpets i sadrži tri kamena pronađena na obalama Jelse – različitih tekstura, pričaju priče o nastanku i promjeni, sadržeći oštrinu i mekoću u zamršenoj ravnoteži betonske nježnosti.

In everyday language, we often say, “you’re as cold as stone.” Yet this phrase, on closer inspection, seems misleading. Examining a stone’s structure and color reveals its rich mineral composition. The texture of its surface reflects the forces that shaped it: water smooths its edges, pressure causes fractures, and high temperatures leave it roughened. Each stone carries a record of Earth’s formative processes, the foundation of our present reality. Moreover, stone was humanity’s first tool, empowering us to shape our surroundings and create. At the same time, this tool warms under persistent touch, revealing its openness towards cooperation.
Sensitive Bodies exhibited at JAB25 is a work stemming from a Magic Carpets artist residency and features three stones found on the shores of Jelsa – all differently textured, telling different stories of origin and change, containing harshness and softness in an intricate balance of concrete tenderness.
