Holding the Line: Stone Alignments

Ongoing Photo Series

In this photographic series by Imke Rust, stones natural marks or lines are held up so that their markings align precisely with lines in the surrounding environment — a horizon, an edge, a wave, or a distant structure.

Each image captures a fleeting moment of connection between hand, material, and landscape. Through the simple act of alignment, the work explores perception, balance, and the quiet dialogue between the human gesture and the natural world.

Holding the Line: Stone Alignments invites viewers to notice the hidden continuities around them — how fragments of the earth can momentarily complete the horizon, and how attention itself can become a form of artmaking.
