The work shows the journey of a block of marble from its extraction from a quarry in China to its destination in Europe, during which sculptors transform it into a Roman column. The block of marble is loaded on board a kind of factory-ship, a cargo whose open hold serves as a workshop for the sculptors. Capitalist logic perfectly carried out: in order to maximize profit, the work is completed during the journey. As if in an ancient saga transposed to our modern day, we follow this seemingly obstinate object transforming into the metaphor of a life journey, and in the process, revealing us many untold human-life stories, inextricably related to and shaped by it.
