Exhibition of shell stones in the Viamala region
Description
On a rock formed by glaciers in the Arsiert, south of Bärenburg, artificial stone carvings from prehistoric times also cast a spell over the modern mind. A demonstrable regularity, dependent on the annual course of the sun, suggests a calendrical order. Step by step, a sun symbol is created, embedded in a circular hexagon. Derived from the course of the sun, the regional landscape and new shell stone locations can then be read from a prehistoric coordinate grid.
Anselmo Gadola's private exhibition focuses on the bowl and sign stones in Schams, Avers and Rheinwald as witnesses to a cult-astronomical regularity dependent on the annual course of the sun. Mystical and enigmatic at the same time.
