About

FLESH of STONE is a collector art book, bilingual English-French, printed in 689 copies numbered by hand, bound and presented in a red embossed case.

“Michael Kenna is drawn to the vestiges of humankind’s activity within the natural world, to places where human action has ceased, or to places where forgetting has established itself—the abandoned cemetery, the lonely avenues of a park in winter. But out of what he finds there Kenna does not produce images of extinction or finitude, of what has passed, but rather what lives on through a presence which has not been properly recorded, the hidden life behind objects, as explored in the poetry of Rainer Maria Rilke and Georges Rodenbach or the writings of Proust, until the moment Kenna’s lens endorses, emphasises that presence.”
