In her work 2-headed Ouroboros – an ancient trope for an endless circle – Isabell Bullerschen associates the concept of entropy with the disintegration of stone paper through the exposure to sunlight. This curious material that serves a second skin to the blacklight neon serpent, is produced with limestone powder and essentially the perfect recycled material, being a waste product from stone quarries. But the small percentage of polyethylene that is used in it as a binder and that gets released into the air as the stone-paper breaks down under the UV radiation dissipates this dream into pieces.
