Synopsis
On a cargo ship, a block of marble quarried in China undergoes transformation into a classical column. Chinese artisans work meticulously, their faces dusted with marble as they shape the stone with precision. This process, orchestrated by Albanian artist Paci, unfolds without a predetermined destination. The column becomes a visual metaphor for cultural identity and economic dynamics, representing a dialogue between East and West. The 26-minute documentary captures the artistry and labor involved in this unique production.
