Description

Directly inspired by an unusual representation of a 17th-century Vision of Zechariah by Ambroise Crozat, this rock-shaped sculpture features seven single eyes. Set in stone, they seem to scrutinise the viewer like the hundred eyes of Argos. This massive and strange stone calls to mind certain paintings by Magritte that represent a levitating rock.
