I found these pieces of glass just outside what I believe must be the Villa Borghese, in Rome, 1997
Jimmie Durham walks around cities looking for unexpected encounters and gathering things, as we can read in his text Nature in the City. In this artwork, a few pieces of semi-precious stones found by Durham in Rome are placed on a tray together with a handwritten text which does not intend to explain but rather give a new (narrative) dimension to these seemingly worthless stones.
