Francesco Arena’s project “Parola” conerns the artist carving slabs of stone that are placed in various locations. Each slab will have engraved on it using a grinding machine a Morse code corresponding to a name of a person chosen by the artist. Only the artist and the stone slab will know which names are engraved on each slab.
