Nine rocking stones filmed in the Czech Republic, Austria, Germany and in Poland.

“Video loops (…) record the physical interaction of the authors with these massive, seemingly rigid, yet fragile and unstable rock formations. In their unexpected movement, the eternity of nature is transformed into a metaphor for the threat, instability and uncertainty associated with the intensifying manifestations of the advancing environmental crisis.” – Michal Koleček, “Gardening of Soul” exhibition, House of Arts, Ústí nad Labem, CZ, 2023

For their work series Metastabil (2023), the artists shake up familiar surroundings. Each of the individual video works in the series feature a massive rock, which appears to be caused to sway slightly by a ghostly hand and seems to be trapped in an endless loop. Through minimal physical intervention, Herold and Huth create a simulative world in which the rocks are in constant motion.“ – Julia Anna Wittmann, “Real World Assets”, catalogue, icon Verlag Munich, 2025
