Not All Who Wander are Lost by Julian Charrière

The Swiss artist @julian.charriere has collected several boulders that have been transported across the Alps in glaciers. The huge rocks are found when the ice melts, like a giant pebble stranded in the middle of an Alpine meadow. 

Charrier has drilled a series of cylinders through the rocks, in the way that geologists extract core samples to study the world around us. It is fascinating to see the shapes and sparkles. The cylinders are laid out across the floor to suggest the movement of the boulder across the earth - a bit like the trail of a snail.
