1. The Man who Collects Stones
For years, every day, Luigi Lineri has walked along the Adige in search of stones… In the mid-1960s, Lineri noticed that some of the small rocks that have supported the watercourse for millennia, although smoothed by the incessant passage of time and water, still bear the traces of some primitive artist’s attempts at sculpture. Since then, Lineri has collected and categorized stones by shape: human profiles and silhouettes, animal heads and muzzles, work tools.
Born in Zevio, Verona, Lineri is a poet as well as an artist. This is his poetry in stones. Found on Italian Ways.
2. Log Cabin, 1985
I lived here for about eight years, and owned it for about fifteen years after I built it in 1976 with local fieldstone and oak logs I cut, peeled and notched on the site, working alone with hand tools. It had no plumbing, I carried water from a nearby spring, and I heated it in winter with about half a cord of wood a week which I cut and burned in the open fireplace. Eventually I moved into Asheville and had to sell it, but it was a large part of my life, and I miss it more with each passing year.

7. Yiwu Commodity City
Yiwu is a city in the Zhejiang province of China, south of Shanghai. It hosts “China Commodities City,” famous for being the largest small commodity wholesale market in the world.
Thousands of stalls like the ones pictured here exhibit multiple and slight variations on a particular item. Each individual seller occupies a space overwhelmed by the very items that make them their living. They sell orders by the thousands to be exported across complex logistics networks, disseminated to a world of dispersed consumers.
Richard John Seymour‘s collection of portraits represents just a fraction of the series as a whole, and less than 0.1% of Yiwu’s stalls in total.
See the collection found on Lens Culture.
